Hello Community,

I thought about replaying the campaign without heroes and awards.
OK, you can play without own heroes and without awards, but I found no way to "eliminate" enemy heroes.

I think it would be fun to play the game in a more pure style: no awards, no heroes, just the units with gaining experience. It would be more about the right tactics.

I had tank units with four heroes (force concentration): lightning attack, ignores entrenchment, quadriple guns, vigilant.
Such a unit with 15 strength... honestly it's too powerful.

But in the course of the campaign there are showing up enemy units - with very strong heroes - which are overpowered too. At least if you are playing without own heroes.

It would be great, if this was made possible.

Great game. thank you.

I agree

Play the base campaign if you want no enemy heroes, or learn to mod the game and remove all enemy hero assignment scripts on your own.
This design is a counter to AO long term campaigns, in which you can accumulate more heroes than you can remember. If you can have OP combinations, so should the enemy.

I have modded some games in the past (Panzer General, PC1, Gladius 40k). All changes did work. But I prefer not to mod games anymore.

Right, the design of enemy strength in SCW to AO '46 is a counter to your own strength.
But why not give a player the option to choose a more classic way - like in Panzer General?
I have worked as a programmer in the past. And I could imagine that the work to implement this option maybe is of limited effort. Make available "no enemy heroes" only if you have activated "no own heroes" before - I'm fine with that. But I think it would make the game more versatile and interesting.
Always nice to have options and boosting replayability.
