Editing Talk:Hero biographies

== Organization ==
Trying to decide how best to tackle this page. --[[User:Legate|Legate]] ([[User talk:Legate|talk]]) 16:28, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
My current thoughts:
* Split this into 3 large tables: 1) Standard Heroes 2) Heroes available in Map Editor 3) Campaign Only Heroes.
** I saw you added a 4th table "Other Campaign Heroes". How does this differ from "Campaign Only Heroes?" --[[User:Legate|Legate]] ([[User talk:Legate|talk]]) 18:22, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
*** I think it is just whether they have a unique portrait or not?
**** Precisely, since those with a unique portrait are the first "instance" of that hero and I think it should define them as a character. Both Complete Edition and HotA have these (General Kendal & Boyd being examples) and they also have many many instances of portraits being reused, which I think would clutter the first table of unique campaign heroes.

**** I agree. I didn't realize there were so many of the 2nd kind of hero! --[[User:Legate|Legate]] ([[User talk:Legate|talk]]) 20:26, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
**** I am thankful we're only doing the second type of hero if the player can control them/is allies with them... we would have an endless supply of custom enemy heroes otherwise, which I don't think ANYONE wants to know about, let alone sift through 100+ maps to catalogue!

**** ...I did it. I made the list. See [[Template talk:Campaign hero table]]. I'll probably put these heroes on their own page or something idk. I think we should put them all here, but maybe minimize the tables by default? --[[User:Legate|Legate]] ([[User talk:Legate|talk]]) 20:28, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
* Add a source column to show where the hero originated (See [[Template:Campaign hero table]])
** I was just about to do this but it seems you're already working on it :) I'll hold off on editing this for now, if you're doing it! [[File:Hero Cosmos small.gif|link=user:phasma|→ Phasma]] 16:40, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

== To Do ==
* <s>Heroes added for Hota v1.7.0</s>
* <s>Add ALL campaign heroes. See [[Template talk:Campaign hero table]].</s>
* <s>Figure out what to do about OG Catherine. Her portrait exists nowhere as far as I know.</s>
* <s>Fill in missing text for biographies.</s>
* <s>Add specialty picture parameter (like in the Hero template)</s>
