Talk:MechWarrior 5: Clans/Campaign Missions

From BattleIntelligence

In terms of formatting - the Courcheval arc is split into two segments (denoted by the mission selection map clearing in between) - one before the Year of Peace and one as it is ending. Should we split those into two separate headers, or keep them as one long one, as the missions are all still on Courcheval? Additionally, the Huntress missions do not take place solely in 3048; the first mission is in August, 3048 while the second is eight months later, putting it in or around April, 3049.

I would normally say we should split Courcheval into two sections, I remember that one of the lines in the game is that it has been quiet for months so it sounds like the war for the planet essentially stopped and was restarted by the ISF but there is a trial for the world in late 3051 from Clan Nova Cat, so keep it as one section/battle between CSJ and DCMS. As for the Huntress dates we can likely append them to the specific missions. It is the later sections that I want to link to Battle articles via an introductory line in each section. Helps cross link the wiki a bit rather than the video game stuff being an island all of its own.--Dmon (talk) 20:03, 19 October 2024 (EDT)
That makes sense. On that note I also intend to link the names of appropriate characters and units for their first appearances on the page - Cordera Perez, Emilie Wimmer, and Sarah Weaver come to mind for characters, and Beta Galaxy and the 362nd Assault Cluster for units. The main Star of characters will also likely merit it, but it feels weird doing so before their pages are fleshed out. --Skarthe (talk) 01:44, 20 October 2024 (EDT)

In some missions (such as Pinned Down), there is a Star Commander attached to Shadow Binary whose name is marked on dialog boxes as "Adam Travers". I believe he is only ever referred to in dialog as "Travers", and his Star Captain is Adam Bes. Due to the shared first name and the fact that Travers is not a known Bloodname of any Clan, much less Smoke Jaguar, I'm inclined to believe that the "Adam" on his dialog boxes is an error, and I intend to refer to him as "Travers" and ignore the "Adam" unless someone disagrees. --Skarthe (talk) 17:01, 4 November 2024 (EST)
