Hello Wesnoth devs. As part of my GSoC submission I put together the
results of a small playtest. Having never played Wesnoth before I wrote
down any confusions and problems I had while learning to play. It looks
like my proposal isn't what the Wesnoth team wants, so I thought I might
share my list in case any intrepid Wesnoth coder may be inspired to do some
of these.

I know it's just a jumble of thoughts so if anybody has any questions I'd
be happy to explain.

The ones I would have focused on were the unit selection and the feedback
in the recruit screen. For the selection it's already implemented, someone
just needs to add in image to the 'selected=""' line in game_config.cfg.
For the recruit screen the problem is that if there's only one unit then
that unit to recruit then is already highlighted, but a new player wouldn't
know that, would click it anyway, and nothing would happen, and confusion
would result. It needs a of mouseover highlight to indicate that it's
clickable and some sort of feedback (a press animation) to indicate that
something happened despite it already being selected.

I hope that makes sense. I enjoyed Wesnoth a lot, it has a good design and
is fun. Good luck to you all.
