Talk:Hero biographies: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 20:31, 8 February 2024

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. 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! 20:31, 8 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! 16:40, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

~~Heroes added for Hota v1.7.0~~
Missing HC heroes (e.g. ~~various flavors of Tarnum,~~ whoever else appears in the campaigns)
- This probably goes for heroes across all campaigns who don't have a unique portrait. I also notice they don't appear on Template:Campaign hero table...what do we want to do about that. Maybe make 2 tables like we have here? --Legate (talk) 19:00, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
Figure out what to do about OG Catherine. Her portrait exists nowhere as far as I know. --Legate (talk) 19:00, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
