why would this be a good thing? Hero strength varies from unit to unit, and that could create imbalances.
furthermore the game is fine without them, this isn’t WC3.

A game that had all it’s success on the custom maps scene, because the MP was stupidly unbalanced, thanks to Hero units and the Upkeep system.

It was just an idea for a mod. but the statistics of the hero units are very unbalanced and would be a problem.

I’ve already made a mod that has the hero of civilization. When you advance to the Golden Age (the 5th Age), you can create the hero in the “Coliseum”. The civilization hero occupies 100 inhabitants, can only create one and is free. The time it takes to be created depends a lot on the hero’s strength and attack distance. To see the time, open the file “dat” with the program “AdvancedGenieEditor 2020” or sign the mod “AOE_Golden_DE (TREE CIVS)”.
With the mod “AOE2_Golden_DE (DAT)” you can create the hero of civilization; but if you want to see the descriptions or the cost of new buildings or units, install the mod "AOE2_Golden_DE (STRINGS).

you can train heroes from individual civs from the mod here. problem is just as what @MatCauthon3 said. the heroes are added into game with mind that they help player proceed as a strong unit, usually unusually high HP.

for easy comparison, you have a pikeman of 6dmg and ~50hp, a hero pike man would be 8 damage and maybe 150hp. the damage gone up only 33% while hp is 3x, you’ll have harder time to kill units instead of playing properly.

to balance this, ive made a bunch of new technology increase the damage output not only heroes but regular units to make this less of a problem.

I use almost all Hero Units in this map.

Most of the Heroes are somewhat good. 2x,3x better usually. maybe a few instances of 1.5x better.
some are way too strong. (Developer bias)

But they are fun to use. Only real hero I have issue with is Babur

no this would be lame, AOE 2 is not WC3 and it doesnt need to be

thats for regular games, this is a modding threads and some people enjoy it. if you dont enjoy it thats is fine, you can play the regular game as is and theres a thread of discussion for regular game.
