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)
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.
