Talk:Triage

Regarding the removal of strategies, I strongly disagree that strategies are "biased information" and do not belong. Wikis are meant to be a source of information that is easily accessible and cateloged, and saying "go to the steam forums or youtube for information" is contradictory to the purpose of a wiki. The other wikis for Hooded Horse games do have strategy sections on their pages, so why is this wiki different?

There is currently no way to find strategy information in a digestible and accessible manner for this game. Threads with information are rarely easy to find, not only having information be spread out across numerous different threads with different titles, those titles are not always clear regarding if they have strategies, and on top of that, even if a thread might appear like it could have some, there's no guarantee that it will due to relying on replies. Youtube videos similarly are not an effective option, as even assuming that a player does benefit from video-type teaching, there are multiple types of channels with content that ranges from advice and strategy as a mission is played, to full break-downs of species and their ideal playstyle. If one specific thing is making a player struggle, "watch this entire video" is not helpful advice compared to "read this paragraph".

Wikis are meant to give information, and tactics and methods that give an advantage to a player that isn't aware of that method is, objectively, un-biased information. By the definition given on the reversion, strategies fit. If a specific strategy added is too biased, then it can be removed or reworded to be less biased, but many strategies are fundimentally un-biased due to simply a tutorial on how a species functions. Most of the "unique" species, like Leafcutters, Matabele, and Termites, require playing very differently when compared to the "common" species like Wood ants or Black ants, so including a detailed tutorial on how a player must change their playstyle to suit the new species is as fitting to this wiki as could be. Otherwise, if no strategies whatsoever are allowed, there should be dedicated sub-page that either has strategies with a note of it being from players and not """official""", or have links to known strategies for each mission.

To add on, there is a distinct lack of unquestionably un-biased information regarding various enemies such as the Huntsman spider's appearance methods, the invulnerability of Lizards and other temporary predators, the Driver ants non-hostility phases, and the Stink Ant's reinforcement calling. That information unquestionably belongs on their pages, yet is absent.

RESPOND from AntBZK to Pixel Demise

Thank you for your contribution. I am the current admin of this official wiki and the old unofficial fandom wiki. Due to the events that old fandom wiki users insulting each other for "incorrect" and "unoptimal" strategies, this is the more peaceful option I can come up with. I am keen on keeping personal guides out of the wiki. If you want a page for general strategies, I can create a page showing general control tips and playstyles for unique species.

Informations regarding specific mechanics for each mission are in mission pages. Spawning mechanics of huntsman spiders and stink ants are here because theses abilities don't appear again in any other missions and custom games: https://hoodedhorse.com/wiki/Empires_of_the_Undergrowth/Drive_Them_Back
