--- Zitat von: OakenShield224 am 14. Nov 2016, 17:23 ---Just bear in mind that we already have some categories of troll and ent. What would happen to these? I'm guessing that troll, ent or eagle heroes wouldn't go into the creature category then.

I would argue that the troll and ent categories are still valid as specifications of the type of creature.  I think of the "Ent" and "Troll" categories as being sub-categories of "Creatures".  Each of those two categories has more than just a few units and therefore the existence of their categories is justified for me. 

As for troll, ent, and eagle heroes, I still think they should go in the "Creature" category because that is their "race" so to say.  Boromir is labelled "Men", Legolas "Elves", so I don't see why not.

Disagree: Imagine the "Troll" category would have only 3 units: Attack Troll, Drummer Troll and Mollok.
The same goes with ents: Treebeard, Quickbeam, Ent, and Ash Ent. Not even talk about eagles which would contain only 2 entries: Gwaihir and Eagle.

Trondheim9:
The Troll category actually has 8 pages in it, and there could be more to come with the Misty Mountains faction.  It is true that the Ent category only has 4 pages in it, but I think that 4 is enough to justify its own category.  As for an eagle category, we don't have one and I wouldn't suggest it since there are only 2 pages to go there.  This is where the generic creature category would cover them.  The generic creature category would cover the trolls and ents too, but since there are more than just one or two pages for those, they also get their own category.  Maybe I'm not explaining myself well, I'm sorry. 

Or, if there is no agreement, we could just scrap the troll and ent categories and let them all just be creatures without also giving them more specific categories.

Indeed, sorry about that I didn't notice. You're right: there probably be more pages in Troll category when the Misty mountains come out. I'm for the Creature category to replace Monster.

This is a tricky issue, after much pondering I give my support to using the "Single" category and removing the "Monster/Creature" category. Then we can add a category to every unit that categorises as a Monster or Creature based on its race (Troll, Ent, Eagle, ect...)

I think the best way to go through this is to go through the factions units by units, later tonight I will post a complete list of all the units (if possible split up by factions) and then Garlodur, if you want, you can just takes chunks out of this list and categorize them, if not I'll do it but I'm a bit short on time at the moment. Once that is done we'll discuss each chunks individually until we reach some sort of agreement, then I'll use the bot fix all the categories and it should be all good. How does that sound?
