How would I go about changing the commander trait that lets you add more hero's to units? Where would I find that in the files?

It seems to let me change how many commander points it costs to take at the start of a campaign, but not edit how many hero's it actually adds.

One: Modding questions should go into the Scenario Design area.
Two: I don't think you can edit the heroes numbers, it may hard coded where players cannot get at it.

You can change the number of heroes that a unit can have in the Rules.json file, like they can have only 1,4 etc. There is no way that I know of to change how many heroes you get per turn in a campaign. Although the editor has a box for that it is not active.

Ok that's where modding questions go, thank you

Actually it works!

Put a number in that box and even when you're playing a campaign you get heroes equal to that number.

Is there a scroll wheel? Because the heroes would go off the screen.

No scroll wheel per se.

Select a unit, then click "Unit Details" (the small i), then click "Heroes" and then "Assign Heroes". If you still can assign a hero to the selected unit you get a list of all your available heroes.

The game design called for a maximum of 3 heroes and thats what it was designed to hold. So no provision for a scroll bar.

Hmm unfortunate, well a capability of 4 is more than enough.

wish we had more Hero Selection options. both on individual Heroes, like we do with Rudel, and in the game setup options. it costs us to get 3 Heroes at least we should be able to select them instead of that random BS where you have to constantly restart New Campaign Setup. was just embarking on a new SCW Campaign and my first spin at the Russian Hero Roulette Wheel expected me to not only pay for but play with the most generous rewarding of Distraction. Leadership. Aiming Assistance. Really? sorry HAL, ain't happening on my watch. but after a 6 pack and lost track of time furiously going thru drill, 4 my 1st 3, I got 2, yes 2 Zero Slots and a 1.5x.

don't know if Rudel feels special or he's lonely at the top being the only Hero where we get to select his options?
