**** Precisely, since those with a unique portrait are the first "instance" of that hero and I think it should define them as a character.

Organization[edit | hide | hide all]

Trying to decide how best to tackle this page. --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?" --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. → Phasma 19:53, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
        • I agree. I didn't realize there were so many of the 2nd kind of hero! --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! → Phasma 20:31, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
