Hero type in description

[Saruman_the_wise]

hello ET and edainers i'm simply proposing that in the description of every hero mention their role be it as a hero killer, supporter, etc. IN GAME

And there you have it

I think that's a very good and simple idea, I totally second it @Saruman_the_Wise
It would be great indeed if the hero's role were displayed in his description in the game.

i'm aware of that thread but in game, to new players and players not apart of modding union its useless.

[WarOfTheRingVeteran]

Oh...

Hold on! Is this some kind of a coincidence or what? I posted that idea on ModDB just about an hour ago.

Nevertheless... ya got my support

[Saruman_the_wise]

No I saw your comment and thought that's a good idea and new that if a thread was not made on modding union it would be forgotten so good thinking!

Oh... (again) XD

I actually wanted it to be written by someone else, since I don't really care... so thanks!

This isn't bad idea, but  speaking in general there would be some heroes with more roles in same time, for example Thorin III. That hero is building/unit/hero supporter, tank and killer at same time. And for example you write all of this in description of citadel button of Thorin III. Would be that so useful to nobbie? I am giving just example, ofc there are many more heroes with different roles. Simply Gimly also DPS and Tank...
In general this could be also confusing if you take some of similar examples like those.
Personally I think it is best to read all descriptions of hero abilites and then decide how you want to play him and from gameplay mistakes to learn which is the best role for hero. It is the best way to learn possibilities of heroes and roles of same. Simply I really don't think that nobbie or someone who doesn't know how to play game will get some enlightenment with this information.
From my perspective, I think this is good idea but it will be also confusing for some heroes (because if their multi role), mainly if this is referring nobbie problems.

Kind regards

Maybe just "multitasker"? It's better than nothing after all.

[CragLord]

Ok, you have description in citadel's production button "multitasker".
How will you play with that hero?
Was this informative at first place or it is just added to fit hole in suggestion?
I just wanted to point on a possible problem here.

I think it would be just to make a first impression on that hero. It wouldnt realy work with Thorin, but for example in lothlorien, when a new player sees a horde of enemy heroes, he can easly notice that Celeborn is a good choice for him.

[Saruman_the_wise]

Heroes in edain only have a max of 3 real roles the rest are just small aspects
there for it could just be like this:

Primary Role: Hero killer
Secondary Role: Tank
Tertiary Role: Building Destroyer

There's no problem at all.

[HoarmurathOfDir]

And you could also add a multitasker (ex. Thorin III)and a supporter (ex. Denethor)

[Saruman_the_wise]

yeah but multitasker is too vague i'd prefer the 3 roles system

[NetoD20]

I agree, it's too vague, gotta be the whole thing.
Also I think there is no problem with big texts, I remember seeing very long ones in 3.8.1 Imladris
