IMHO it's definitely better for the astral pretender to get the astral hero. The other route leads to averaging out the factions, which for me takes alot of the flavor away from the game.

Instead of "non-national" heroes, the game should feature "traitor" heroes.
Every nation in game should get (at least have a very small %) a heroe from another nation in play.

Marignon: A traitor paladin. Family burned by inquisition.

Ermor: The ghost of a noble pratician imprisioned (and later cursed) after trying to defeat the corrupt governement (he stabbed his fosterfather but the old man was already dead :-)

Arcoscephale: The rebel priestess, she just wanted to marry and have children...

Machaka - A shy, timid girl, who is afraid of spiders. No magic powers, no weapons or armor, but gains berserk+10 and trample when spiders are on the battlefield. At level 3 she gains a spray can of RAID.

I like that. It seems like a good way to increase the appearing heroes in a story-mode way. But there are actually alot of heroes appearing.

The problem I have is that Id like to see some variety in the random troops that join you. Illwinter seems to have things in categories of troops joining you for religious reasons, and everyone else is mercenary.

Maybe troops that are switching sides for other reasons would make sense. But I wouldnt want them to come from another player. That kindof plus here WITH a minus there would be to hard to balance.

I like the idea too...

It would definedly spice the game, and who couldn't love a Traitor Paldin?
