How to use

The code is copied at the beginning of the hero's article, and fill in the missing information. It should be noticed, that the factors below are case sensitive meaning, that "Town" is not the same as "town".

{{Hero
 | town       = 
 | class      = 
 | gender     = 
 | race       = 
 | specialty  = 
 | s_text     = 
 | skill_1    = 
 | skill_2    = 
 | spell      =
 | warmachine =
 | min_mp     =
 | max_mp     =
 | hota_mp    =
 | s_mp       =
}}

Hide components

The following parameters defined without any value hide certain elements of the template:

  • nospell: No spell
  • nowar: No War Machine
  • notext: No Intro text to the right (useful for showing different flavors of a hero).
  • no_hota_starting_troops: HotA troops are the same as normal troops.

HotA Movement Points

For all heroes amount of starting movement points depends on their starting army: if they got a slow creature in starting army - they start with less movement points. In HotA Horn of the Abyss all heroes are guaranteed to start with a certain set of creatures, so their starting movement points are constant. For all heroes that were introduced in HotA Horn of the Abyss parameter s_mp must be replaced with s_hota_mp with defined value.

 | s_hota_mp = 

Optional components

  • flavor: The scenario name or version of the hero that appears in a different scenario.
  • atk: Custom primary skill stat (attack)
  • def: Custom primary skill stat (defense)
  • sp: Custom primary skill stat (spell power)
  • know: Custom primary skill stat (knowledge)
  • skill_#: Replace # with the skill number 1-8
  • troop_#: Replace # with the troop number 1-8
    • troop_#_img: Display an alternate (e.g. HotA) image for this troop.
    • nmb_#: The number of creatures in this troop
    • chance_#: The chance that this troop appears in the hero's army
  • biography: If left out, removes the blank space created by an empty biography.
  • marginR: Used to set a different right margin (useful for showing different flavors of a hero).
  • level: Starting hero level

Other Options

If for some reason certain parameters do not appear automatically, you can add the following rows:

 | picture       = 
 | specialty_pic = 
 | name          = 

Example

Flavor Case

Boyd the Death Knight
(Dead or Alive)
Basic information:
Boyd Class: Death Knight
Gender: Male
Race: Human
All scary stories feature a horseman who had been hanged, stabbed or even beheaded and now rides by night, intending to exact revenge on his killers. Nonsense, a necromancer would say, a dead man risen by himself cannot have memory or will. It may well be so, but then Boyd has scores to settle not only with the traitor who slayed him, but also with the one who denied him rest in peace.
