Talk:Cormanthor War

This is a very complicated topic. Almost War of the Seven Kingdoms in scope (actually, it's nowhere near that complex, but you get what I'm saying). You've got the elves, the Fey'ri, the Phaerimms, several different bands of drow, Sembia, Shadowdale, Hillsfar, the Zhentilar, the Shadovar, the churches of Bane, Cyric and Shar. Then there's the adventuring bands: the Knights of Myth Drannor and the group who would become the Liberators of Shadowdale, not to mention 4 different Chosen of Mystra.

Alliances are made and then severed, there are subplots like the Shadowdale occupation and dead magic zone. Aiaiai. The Weeping War was bigger, but at least the lines were clearly drawn. hashtalk 16:49, May 27, 2012 (UTC)

Rewrite
I plan to rewrite this article eventually as it is connected to my Dalelands restoration project. The infobox is kind of an ugly mess for the amount of information that is squeezed in. Is there anyway to make the Combatants section its own thing with a horizontal span? Ruf (talk) 01:30, March 21, 2018 (UTC)


 * If you take a look at Conflict, you'll see that the infobox was not really meant to hold all that detail, so if you can cut out some of the details, it might look better. However, I notice that someone has added some parameters that end in "5" which do not exist in the template&mdash;it's limited to 4-wide because anything more would just be too crowded (and you can make the same argument for 4). If you wanted to break the infobox into two infoboxes (add a second one below the first), then you could get more width per column, but it would separate the info. Does the data divide fairly evenly between good/evil or some other division? Then there is the possibility of making a special, full-page-width infobox for this particular conflict, or using a Border box (my least favorite option). I have no idea how these options will look on a mobile device, but that needs to be considered. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 13:15, March 21, 2018 (UTC)
