I felt the increase in attack and defense skill was more easily and accurately explained in words than with formulas, but feel free to disagree, of course.

Resurrection

It's not mentioned here - how does the resurrection specialty work, in terms of numbers? - Csaros (talk)

• I think it falls under the Hero specialty#Other spells category. --Legate (talk) 13:59, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Organization ideas

• I think we should make a minimizable heading (see Csaros's Map Editor page) in each section mentioning what heroes have specialties in that category. With so many pics interspersed in the text, it can be a little hard to read this page. --Legate (talk) 14:19, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
  • See Production specialist section for initial idea.
• Another thought is to maybe only mark the hota heroes with the symbol (since hota is a fan expansion and ab/sod are official)
  • I only added the pictures and  and similar templates to follow the formatting of Did you Know? page. I think reducing number of pictures is a good idea if it will improve readability. - Csaros (talk)
    • Yeah...I added all those pics to Did you Know? and now I am regretting it :) If you have any ideas on how to organize that page too, I'm all ears! --Legate (talk) 15:48, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Tarnum

Is Tarnum a separate hero or a Mutare with a different bio and portrait? I thought he's just a Mutare replacement considering that he's not accessible in the Map Editor.

He is technically a portrait replacement of Christian, Gelu, Dracon, Mutare, Crag Hack, and Bron but we still see him as his own hero, being the star of the whole Heroes Chronicles series and all. 16:25, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
