For example, one Anti-Hero could be a "Coward": his Unit would have a high propensity to retreat from its Hex if it suffers damage. Or you could have a "Timid" Anti-Hero, who would be "unable" to approach too close to enemy Units.

In Multi-Player, it would be fun choosing which sort of Anti-Heros your Opponent would have to use!

That could actually be a really fun way to play!

You could have a double-attack hero that wastes ammo, or a no retaliation hero that also gives coward traits?
Or a famous one that also gives -1 attack when the unit is alone (no adjacent friendlies)...

I think some heroes are truly game-breaking, especially if you use them as a combo - well, this still won't prevent that, but maybe hold the "power train" back a bit.
