Awesome stuff! If QM doesn�t incorporate those in the next version I�ll have to go back to updating worthy heroes myself

You liked the backrounds I whipped up for them? Even the Markata hero? I kinda feel that I overdid it. The stats are pretty much done "spur in the moment" are most likely unbalanced. QM is much more expirenced in that area. I'd just be glad to give him a solid backround for the heroes, since that's most likely the hardest part, IMHO. I'd like to keep QM's workload as small as possible.

Especially the Markata Hero! I wanted to add one of them for a long time, but could never create a cool backstory.

I didn�t see much stuff, which could be considered overpowered. I rather think you made some of them a bit too weak, e. g. Daughter of storms could gain some air magic, Old age should be avoided on heroes, unless absolutely necessary for backstory, the impostor could gain a magic level somewhere. That�s all really minor stuff though, I think you hit the desired balance level pretty much exactly.

I noticed some typos though, e.g. storm hero "standarts" , descend upon his enemies.

Yeah, I'll have to spellcheck them. I have one more hero on the makings and then I'll release my heroes as an unofficial add-on to WH 1.8 (fixing typoes, making the monster/weapon/armor numbers match to WH linings.. That sort of thing). It'll be easy for QM to tinker stuff on that and will satisfy the ones needy for new content.

And I'm done! Attached is a "Burning Heroes" - mod. It is basically WH 1.8 with my heroes added, combined with some structure changes to the WH mod itself (I basically alphapetized the .dm file and readme, the orginal ordering is a chaotic mess). It is 100% playable, although it was orginally intended for QM's eyes only, but some heroes are pretty weak since I wasn't able to use #onebattlespell with them yet.

Oh, QM. I didn't include the Brothers of War in this, so you'll have to add it yourself.

Some heroes that are included in it, but I haven't shown yet.

I "scrapped" the orginal idea for the Big Ape hero, and made three versions of him.

He is a hero for Kailaisa. He has animalawe.

Now he is a hero MA Mictlan

And then he returns as a hero for Patala. He gets one bloodslave per month.

Then I whipped (pun intented) him for LA Agartha.

He summons these (2 per turn)

It has berserk 3, which is pretty good for Cave Drakes, sine it icreases their already impressive natural armor, and takes care of the low morale and attack.

QM, it looks like this here mod is in need of a new update with v3.15.

There's a new hero for LA Abysia, Ba'an Rachis the Slayer Dragon who needs his WH boost. There's also a problem with the Champion of the Horn because it looks like double dashes ( -- ) can't be used to comment out lines. The commands are still read. So that one appears in the pretender list for everyone because it's copystatted from Mother of Lions.

Probably needs the # characters removed from the beginning of each line.
