Index: Unit Strategy and Discussion

[Euryon]

Following some discussion in the "Knights of Weston" (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=3737) thread between Jotun and H_E_H, the great idea of an index of all official HS units, with each name linked to a discussion on that particular unit and how to best use it should really be realised.

As this is a community of very smart and helpful HS players, lets just get on and do it!

So, what we can do:

Reply to this thread with a line of tagged text. It will look like this:

Knights of Weston (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=3737)

If you don't know how to link text, it's quite simple; just surround the http link with the following tags:

Knights of Weston (thread_address_goes_here)

Please ensure the name of the unit is *exactly* as it is on the Army Card; and that the link actually links to a relevant discussion that details strategic use of the unit and/or an analysis of its powers/strengths/weaknesses.

I am aware not all units will be discussed in such detail; but lets compile what we can.

If we can get a link to a thread that discusses as many units as possible, then I will begin to update this post with them in alphabetical order, until we have a near enough complete list; then Mods/Admins can delete replies and the index can be stickied as a resource for all.

Great Idea!

I will help you out, being the moderator of this section and all. :D

I will start by making this a sticky!

[Euryon]

Thanks Nether. Amended 1st post to order all units by expansion.

Please PM me any mistakes.

Nether, once any links have been added (and verified - I'll asterisk those verified), would you be able to delete them? It'll be neater and easier to read if this keeps to a single page; easier to edit too. Please feel free to edit my post (any other mods/admins too) if you feel like it ;)

I will try and update this daily - but weekends I may not get a chance ;)

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

Yeah, thanks Euryon. My dream come true, made simple, and everyone can help out.
Fantastic idea!!!

Btw, the link code example was backward. I went and edited.

[Euryon]

lol thanks for that HEH :D Silly mistake <_<
I shall begin tracking down old threads in a little while; better do some work first though ;)

We have a wiki started, we just need some help to get it all done.

It has alot of info on a few characters already

Aielman, I love HeroscapeWiki. The idea here is to collect and organize all threads started on Heroscapers.com for easier access for those who are search feature -challenged.

[yagyuninja]

This is a fantastic idea. Good on ya.

http://www.heroscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Sgt._Drake_AlexanderTrue, that, but this index could link to that, and to the discussions. A wiki is a source for information, not discussion.

[LongHeroscaper]

This is a great idea! Later on, we can do something like tutoring for new players using the material from this thread.

[Jotun]

Wow. Glad to see other people think this idea is useful.

[markwars]

I can't wait until this is done. I've wanted something like this since the days of .net.

[Euryon]

As do I!

Come on people, show me some lovin' with the links and I'll get off my ass and update the first post!

[netherspirit]

I will work on some thread renaming and moving around and merging this afternoon after classes.

That's all I have time for. I found a good discussion of the rats but it did not include the errata about them only able to scatter with a regular attack from an opponent and I didn't want to spread false info.

[Euryon]

Thank you DC! Will update now...

[Chimpy]

If we do not have any other Carr thread, the one I decided started would work.

There was a 4th mass thread. I don't know where it is though.

[Euryon]

Updated a bit ;)

[Snotwalker 8000]

Any chance we can get some updated unit links activated in this thread? I love the concept of this sticky, and think having a "one-stop-shop" for quick unit reference on strategy/tactics/worth, etc is great.

[Euryon]

Absolutely! Please read the first post for guidance on how to contribute to this ;) (I did a fair bit early on, but its too big a task for one lonely soldier)

This disucssion was up not too long ago.

[Taeblewalker]

I suppose this would be a good place to respond to the locked Shades of Bleakewood thread. I find that their attack of 2 is just fine against the Airborne Elite, since the AE have only Defense 2. The shades are quick, and can catch the Aubriens as well. Vipers, beware! Their speed makes them good at catching any unit, so if you use them against low defense units, you don't need to even use their Sould Devour ability.

[Marduk]

Do you suppose it would be worthwhile to include a second link for each unit, to the FAQ specific to it (where there is one)?
