Throne of Heroes-read me

Throne of Heroes is an update by Xietor to Turin's Worthy Heroes Mod Version 1.8 for the middle era. Turin was actively involved with Throne of Heroes and he updated the blackheroview map, so you can check out the heroes.  Turin was a valuable check in keeping the heroes from getting too epic.

 The Worthy Heroes Mod improves upon the vanilla heroes and adds new ones. Worthy Heroes typically have an extra slot, better stats, items and additional magic paths than the vanilla heroes. Throne of Heroes has reorganized the format of Worthy Heroes, and adds new heroes. This update owes many new heroes to Burnsaber and Xietor.  Amos sprites were borrowed for my Prince of Flames, Yeti, Death Cult Assassin, and Disciple of Steel heroes.  Llamabeast also did artwork on the Yeti. Dr. P modified the Worthy Heroes Banner to a Throne of Heroes banner.

 Since Heroes appear in the mid and late game, as well as the early game, thematic abilities were given to some heroes to make them useful to races throughout the game. Old age was removed from all but a few heroes, and human heroes were given the affliction dealing abilities that offset their somewhat average stats. The new mod ability onebattlespell was also added to a few of the heroes both in an attempt to make certain heroes tougher, and also to add some spice to the game.

  Luck needs a greater reward than presently is offered. Too many skilled veterans in multiplay take 3 order /2 misf.  It has become cookie cutter.  Throne of Heroes, to the extent practicable, does it part in making luck more attractive by making the heroes that show up randomly much tougher.

To help identify the source of the heroes, heroes with a number in parentheses after them are heroes already in the base game. That number is their Dominions identification number. Nearly all base heroes have received perks to make them more attractive. Heroes with no number after their name, but a name in parentheses, are new heroes created by a player.  Where possible, I have tried to give credit to the person that created the new hero.  New Heroes not in WH 1.8 are in italics and any notable new abilities or traits of existing or new heroes are in parentheses. 

Since this mod is an update to Worthy Heroes 1.8, middle era only, it is not intended to be used with Worthy heroes 1.8. QM is working on an update to WH for all 3 eras, and has my express permission to use any part, or the entire Throne of Heroes mod, in his Worthy Heroes 1.8 update.
