One your screen shot, I would like to see a table at the bottom listing all the scenarios for that formation either allowing a custom sort or sort by date of the scenario. Most important piece for me will be able follow them through a campaign of all of their battles. Everything else is nice but is not as important.
I would also suggest the bio at the top and the table of lineage to the right of that. Maybe any patch or logo up by their name.
The scenario table is already in place, just not on the view provided in the attachment. All subordinate formation appearances are included, so viewing Heer will show scenario appearances for everything under Heer. We typically don't included dates in the scenario tables but if that's a critical factor for formations I can add it.
Who do you suggest will write 2,500+ bios? In the 2+ years of PG-HQ we have had exactly
one nation history voluntary submission. Same with patches and logos. That sort of work is certainly never going to be on my to-do list. It's a nice thought but I don't envision anyone stepping up and making that happening. Peter estimates months of formation curation remaining just to get a baseline dataset for all nations.
