== Bugs page ==
== Thank you ==
I added the bugs page you wanted. Can you help me update it with the remaining bugs we already have a record of? --[[User:Csaros|Csaros]] ([[User talk:Csaros|talk]]) 18:10, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
* Nice, I'll add to that page as I come across issues. --[[User:Legate|Legate]] ([[User talk:Legate|talk]]) 18:22, 25 January 2024 (UTC)


==Factory Spell chances==
Thank you for help with the Map Editor formatting. - [[User:Csaros|Csaros]] ([[User talk:Csaros|talk]])
For the Factory spell chances, I also found the real numbers (off the top of my head I believe level 1 spells had a sum of 37 chances). Do you want me to write it down somewhere? --[[User:Csaros|Csaros]] ([[User talk:Csaros|talk]]) 21:33, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
 
* Sure, feel free to dump them here. I might be inclined to write a program later to figure them out for real, but it would be nice to not have to do that :) --[[User:Legate|Legate]] ([[User talk:Legate|talk]]) 21:35, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
Nice work on Hero specialty‎‎! Now it looks more organized and clearer. --[[User:Sanust|Sanust]] ([[User talk:Sanust|talk]]) 04:41, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
* I calculated the values using some simple statistics. Level 1: 37 slots, 1 slot corresponds to 2.703% chance. Level 2: Exactly 50 slots, each corresponds to 2% chance. Level 3: Again, 50 slots, 2% each. Note that no spell has a 2% chance on this level. Level 4: 20 slots, 5% each. Level 5: 25 slots, 4% each.
** You lost me. Slot? Is that the number of spells at that level? Or just the lowest common denominator for spells and each spell would take a few slots? The main problem complicating the math is the no replacement (i.e. you can't get magic arrow twice in a level 1 mage guild).
*** If I understand the spell system in Heroes III correctly, it works as follows: You have X slots (say, cells), with X different for each level. F.e. Factory has 37 slots for spells of level 1. Now some of them are filled with "magic arrow" id, some with "cure" id, etc. Then, the game randomly chooses out of all slots, ignoring those that match an already appearing spell. If this is how it works, I understand the Documentation of HotA percentage chance to reflect just this spell appearing in 1 slot. In that case, it would be 1/37 chance of appearing in 1 slot for spells with 1 id in all slots, 2/37 for spells that have their id in two slots... That's why the percentages always add up to 100. They only refer to 1 slot. This is all, provided I understand the system. Again, the percentages we have refer to a spell appearing in 1 slot then. Edit: I'll raise you. I believe all spell probabilities we have overall refer to 1 slot chance (see how they add up to 100% for each level, where they shouldn't if it's a chance of a spell appearing AT ALL). --[[User:Csaros|Csaros]] ([[User talk:Csaros|talk]]) 19:58, 26 January 2024 (UTC)


== Thank you ==


Thank you for all the feedback and ideas and help with the new main page! I think it's done now, unless you have any other ideas or tweaks? I'll also leave the question up on Discord for people to chime in if they want to and perhaps change it within a week.

== Page tagging ==
Could you please correctly tag HotA pages/info? Even so, thanks for the work on keeping the wiki up to date however you can. :) --[[User:FirePaladin2|FirePaladin2]] ([[User talk:FirePaladin2|talk]]) 18:07, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
* Sure! I really appreciate your help with the lore pages...you seem to know a lot more than me! --[[User:Legate|Legate]] ([[User talk:Legate|talk]]) 18:10, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
* I saw you marking portions of pages as hota...I don't know what was introduced in different games in the M&M universe...I only know what is Homm3 vs HotA. Thoughts? I think for now I will mark everything introduced to homm3 in HotA as a HotA page, and you can fix them later? --[[User:Legate|Legate]] ([[User talk:Legate|talk]]) 18:24, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
** That could work I guess. You can also check the fandom wiki (for example, a quick search for Balthazar confirms him as canon MM content). And on pages where I already contributed, I already tagged things accordingly, I believe. Regardless, there'd be plenty of work to fully do this.--[[User:FirePaladin2|FirePaladin2]] ([[User talk:FirePaladin2|talk]]) 18:26, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
** Any thoughts of what to do for heroes like [[Xex]] or [[Agar]]? They exist as part of the larger lore, but are only heroes in hota. --[[User:Legate|Legate]] ([[User talk:Legate|talk]]) 21:29, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
*** I guess [[Tavin]] is also marked as hota even though he appears in the story text of AB. --[[User:Legate|Legate]] ([[User talk:Legate|talk]]) 21:31, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
