Default Re: Worthy Heroes 1.8

I was wondering if there was any real interest in a "Surtr" hero for Abyssia-Surtr being the king of the Muspelheim Jotuns. Since there's no Muspelheim in the game currently (Not from lack of interest!), and since Abyssia has taken up that role-atleast until someone creates a decent Muspelheim-in either mod or vanilla version-I thought it might be quite interesting to have Surtr show up to fight for the Abyssian cause, lacking as he does a Nation of his own.

He'd have roughly the same stats as the Niefel Pretender (Surtr is supposed to be a *MAJORLY* bad guy, so this isn't out of the question), but all of his abilities would be Fire and Death, instead of Water and Death. He'd also be a good candidate for summoning and leading Smoulderghosts, which I *think* require Fire + Death.

This would be very thematic, in that there's a lot more material on cold-giants than fire-giants in the Norse Myths (It's just basically Surtr and his wife, Sin, leading a vague bunch of unnamed entities), so having Surtr show up in Abyssia would explain that, since maybe there's not very many fire giants around, and maybe "Muspelheim" is just another name for Abyssia.

He'd be a hero for all three Abyssian eras, since Surtr's supposed to be the general of Ragnarock.

By the way, is there any "Worthy Heroes" list of which nations have empty hero slots to be filled? Now that we have access to 6 hero slots and 6 multihero slots, there has to be some available space for almost every nation.

I think the "Throne of Heroes" mod is the working update. Someone correct me if that's wrong and this mod should still be considered current.

Throne of Heroes is an update to the middle era only. It is current.

And Throne of Heroes was Turin approved and had Turin editing. Turin being the Author of Worthy Heroes.

QM I think is still planning a WH 1.9 for all 3 eras. He has my permission to use the entire Throne of Heroes, or any part of it he wants in his WH 1.9 update.

It would be cool if Worthy Heroes would make each nation to have 3 heroes. It' doesn't change the balance, but really makes more fun from the game directly.

This mod is incorporated into CBM. If you don't want to actually use CBM, you should be able to copy out the heroes section of CBM and use it as its own mod. You'll need to add a few lines yourself to make it fully functional, but they're not hard and your mod manual will tell you how.

I wrote it in сbm thread.. but it's more a question for for this thread, obviously. Heroes is a stong, funny element of a game wiсh doesn't really affect the ballanсe a lot, but really makes game muсh funnier. I believe the more heroes the better. I сan not understand why Hinnom has so many сool heroes..3?4? and there are still nations like Helheim where it's <3. Making at least 4 for eaсh nation would be good, even 5 would not сhange something. And getting to aссount total domination of order 3, more heroes will just make luсk more valuable, that's is not unreasonable.

I do agree -- they are a great element, lots of fun, and the more the merrier as far as I'm concerned.
