BA's wiki

Post by Yuri »

I've had some spare time so I've tried to make the wiki looks better - if it doesn't feel free to revert it back. BA's WIKI

Basically I reorganized the structure to better suit it's purpose and added some stuff, so it SHOULD guide newbs better.

Don't mind the sucky img, cause I don't have access to the original vec logo file. It just deserves some pixels imho. So I just copy/paste a loadscreen.

Just my 2 cents.

" * Units/structures statistics (like HP, dmg, etc.) are slightly different in BA. "

Whoever wrote that line never played OTA.

I did :lol: Removed "slightly", because you are right, sometimes the changes were drastic.

What is it supposed to be, a guide or an introduction to BA? And for OTA players coming to BA/Spring or people who didn't play BA?

It might be best not to have both within one page, things such as "Main differences to OTA", there are quite a few, like, loads of added units, which may clog up the page.

Yea, I support the idea of forking it to sub-pages by section. But I rly don't know if a random guy should do this...

The main BA page == BA history, short description + links.
Other pages == guide, OTA changes, etc.

Who would be a non-random guy then?

Dunno who is not, I'm a random guy for instance. I just saw a notice about terrible state of BA's wiki. So I've improved it to look a little bit friendlier.

I think the main thing is the presentation of it and getting the right balance between content and length. I contemplated editting the BA wiki page when I did the XTA one, as I looked at it for ideas but saw it was in worst shape. I didn't think it was my place to edit it though, given that I play hardly any of it. Good luck though.

Well, I can fork the main page to:
Main page redone: only an epic logo img, Overview, History, Links and Legal paragraphs

OTA to BA shift page: Main differences OTA vs BA + link to "shared" + requires adding a list of new units, etc.

TA universe noob's page: starting with the link to old TA Spring wiki page + some overhaul to this old page later + current Strategies section to begin with + possibly more content to this section + link to "shared"

"Shared" section: Spring Controls introduced, Co-op, Chicken defense articles, etc.

Also BA imo need some portion of cool pics /same as "the loadscreen ones"/ for some visual attraction.

OK, I tried to do my best fork the main page to be more clear and simple.
It's just a muster how it should be sectioned.
Opinions?
