m so the wiki software doesn't automatically create "clean" inside of galleries? That "|]]" trick clears out namespace prefixes and disambiguation parentheses everywhere else...

For Heroes Chronicles, which has no campaign wall, I used the Hc#PrBk images from lbitmap.lod as a reference to find which thumbnail did NWC re-use for each campaign. Problem: this doesn't cover the freebies, and both of the "final chapters" have the same image. So for TWT and TFM, I went with the thumbnail used for the first mission of the respective campaign. It'd probably be better to snap pictures from the videos, but they're so grainy and pixelated...

WIP timeline rework. Not the best layout. Would probably be best to have a few columns in which specific missions can be put, since campaigns can span a long extent (especially visible with Forged in Fire).

This table shows how many tiles in a straight line (not diagonal) a hero can move, depending on how much movement points it starts with and the cost of movement. For each amount, the movement is shown for basic move (without any movement skill), with Expert-level Logistics (which increases by the hero's movement points by {{swh|20%|30%}}), or Expert-level Pathfinding (which reduces the movement cost down by 75 points down to a minimum of 85).

This table shows how many tiles in a straight line (not diagonal) a hero can move, depending on how much movement points it starts with and the cost of movement. For each amount, the movement is shown for basic move (without any movement skill), with Expert-level Logistics (which increases by the hero's movement points by 20% Horn of the Abyss30% Shadow of Death), or Expert-level Pathfinding (which reduces the movement cost down by 75 points down to a minimum of 85).

  • Pathfinding is useless on roads. Obviously, it will not find better paths than the roads.
  • Logistics is slightly better on easy terrains, slightly better on rough terrain,, and especially good on roads.
  • Pathfinding is slightly better on rough and wasteland terrains, and Horn of the Abyssnoicon) Shadow of Death better on sand and swamp.
