Hello. I just thought I'd note that I've been doing a bit of work on the Multiplayer page. I thought it might be good to include pages on the multiplayer classes -- so far, I've gotten the Khergit Horse Archer (multiplayer) in semi-usable condition, and have some work done on the Nord Archer (multiplayer). I'm thinking templates of some sort (like the troopsbox template) might be good to have to make things a little neater, but I don't really know how to create those. Any help?

Critiques or help with my project welcome too.

I left With Fire & Sword alone, because I didn't feel qualified to say much about it.

I can make templates, I've made most of the templates on this wiki, but I've never played multiplayer games. I don't really know how multiplayer works at all, like the differences between multiplayer or singleplayer versions of troops. If the TroopStats template isn't sufficient to present multiplayer troops, I might be able to make a multiplayer variant of the template to include more relevant items in the tables.

The Basic issues are: 1) a lot of skills are irrelevant in multiplayer (although I suppose that applies to many troops too), and 2) equipment is selected from a fairly large list by the player, not assigned -- and, furthermore, the equipment may not be at a standard price (example: the Vaegir spearman pays 517 denars for an awlpike, and 853 denars for splinted greaves, while the Swadian infantry pays 276 denars for an awlpike and 682 denars for splinted greaves). The irrelevant skills could still be noted, they're all pretty much the same for each class. (Persuasion and Weapon Master are 0, looting, training, tracking, tactics, pathfinding, spotting, inventory management, wound treatment, surgery, first aid, engineer, prisoner management, leadership, and trade are all 10.) Now that I've looked at the template page, I might see if I can figure out how to make one myself. Maklodes (talk) 15:21, January 7, 2015 (UTC)
