In the Real-Time Arena (RTA), it’s necessary to display a list of possible heroes that the opponent has. Currently, I’ve implemented it so that their names are repeated above the opponent’s castle using fly-text messages. Visually, it’s not very clear to identify the heroes by name; it would be better if their faces were visible. I considered using posters, but it’s too time-consuming – I would need to create 88 posters. Creating posters for 48 spells took about 3 hours, but it was necessary because the spells need to be displayed in every game, while the possible heroes are only shown when the Scouting perk is acquired. Another quick option is to retrieve the necessary heroes from the reserve and keep them in a special enclosure with their movement points removed, but then the heroes would also appear in the bottom panel, which isn’t ideal either.
