Talk:Heroes from other games

From Heroes 3 wiki

I'm all for tables, but this one looks horribly messy compared to the simple list we had before. The portraits are already on the heroes' pages now - I think I prefer the previous list unless we can tidy this up. → Phasma 23:31, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

  • Any better? I think it is nice to have all the pics on one page if possible (as well as on the hero pages) --Legate (talk) 13:11, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
    • So much better! It's clean and concise, well done! → Phasma 13:35, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
  • Other ideas:
    • Add "|frame" to the picture descriptions to always show the caption.
    • Change images to something like this: 
      <gallery heights=64px mode=packed-hover>Image:Hero Lord Haart (Heroes II).png|[[Knight]]</gallery>

Portraits[edit | hide | hide all]

  • The 58x64 are bad quality, personally I would change them to 101x93 what do you guys think?
    • They are not bad quality as they are taken directly from the game's files and downscaled without aliasing to preserve their original style; in their original size they would not nicely fit in with the rest of the pages and templates without becoming blurred when resized and losing the homogeneous design of the template/page → Phasma 12:48, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Maximus[edit | hide]

I'm not sure if Maximus should be in the table as it seems that like with Kastore there is two (one from Enroth and one from Terra) of them: https://mightandmagic.fandom.com/wiki/Maximus_(Enroth)

This Maximus is the same one - his design is the same despite the difference in art styles. Similarly, Balfour is a reference to Heroes IV where you play as Tawni Balfour, who is this Balfour's (adopted) daughter (Tevye, a HOTA crew member, confirmed this). → Phasma 23:52, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
Tevye has since confirmed: "To clear things up, we are aware that Maximus of Enroth from H1 and H2 and Maximus of Terra from MM7 are not the same person; Maximus from All In is the latter, but he is similar enough to the former in appearance, so we decided to incorporate some features from both in our portrait, for better in-HoMM coherence." – so the person is not the same, you are correct, and they merged the styles of both into Maximus (Terra)'s new appearance! → Phasma 03:25, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Other Games[edit | hide]

Now that the page is called Heroes from other games it seems we should include the heroes who appear in Heroes 4 (and in M&M I-IX if there are any). This However will make the list very long. These are all the heroes we would have to include, assuming I didn't miss any:
