“Should”?
I would prefer it if the trainable heroes were removed entirely.

The 3 new heroes have the most basic Auras:
HP regeneration
Attack speed
Movement speed
Which happen to be the same 3 auras the Polemarch from Chronicles can have.

Hard to give every old civilisation a hero with unique capabilities.

He was Romanian, not Slavic.

Even IF really going to add heroes for more civs (which to be clear I hate it and against it), can’t it be desgined in more general way?

What about Regicide mode? there is already a guy called “King” and he’s gonna co-exist with another guy who is also a king in history? (Yes, I’m talking about Shu and Wu)

General, Commanders, Warlord, etc…
And maybe a few of special name like “Daimyo” for Japanese, “Dukes” for some European civs? Boyar? Centurion?

The Spartan hero also only named Polemarch(“Warlord”).

How about make it a toggle in the Lobby:
Heroes yes/no

Then everyone can have a Hero unit but it’s only available in the Hero mode.
The Heroes would all cost 1000 resources and many could have the same auras (It would be impossible to find 50 new bonuses).

Campaign heroes should also get a rework. Give them auras and allow us to retrain them instead of having toggles that make them respawn.
