In an attempt to quickly locate Red Charlotte, I used the troop search feature to look for “arlo”. I got far more than just Red Charlotte, including quite a few troops without any obvious appearance of “arlo” in their text:
Thanks. I realized this after I had made the thread, but didn’t feel like taking it down.
It has now become much harder to search for the blue/brown rare troop from Karakoth, since dozens of other troops will come up if you search for its name. This seems kind of silly, since we already have a role filter in the search menu.
Maybe if Salty or Kafka sees this they can pass along a feature request: don’t include troop role in text searches.
Haven’t nor plan to use the troop roles feature: maybe it’s useful for new players who are not familiar with/accustomed to searching for specific keywords?
Homogeneous wording (e.g. ‘summon’ a storm vs ‘conjure’ a storm ) would go a longer way in helping us find what we are looking for, IMO…
…then again, sooner or later we may find ourselves in an event where we can only use ‘Warlocks’…
The text search function is dumb, as in unintelligent. It doesn’t have any bells and whistles. Long-standing issues include similar stuff like trying to find “Orc” troops and getting troops with the “ReinfORCed” trait.
