Hello. Discussion with Phcas. Here's what he thinks:
"Heroes are a problem. I think it's fun to see the "real" historical figures (heroes) with their historical units. But the game is messing that up by giving the player random heroes during the game. I also agree it will be nice to have this heroes already in Poland however in reality they first have to become heroes so starting in Poland with a lot of heroes already is not so realistic. For me it's more important that a specific hero is on the right unit than the values of that hero in the game. So the numbers the hero add to the game are limited to 1 already. For example the HQ units have all heroes as much as possible more for historical reasons, just to get the right historical faces by the unit. The values that the hero adds to a HQ unit are useless."
