Well, some nations that don't need heroes have them that give them diversity, others who really need them for the diversity then again don't have any. It's not a "must have" mod but I heartily recommend using it. For example, I don't think oceania has any heroes made for them - whereas EA T'ien Ch'i has awesome national hero mages (one of them can be used with little fuzz to cast arcane nexus, and is immortal in addition). Agartha then again has some olms who are basically their easiest way to higher water magic, which isn't a very useful, but is versatility still. They do have national water mages at early age, so they are not lacking in that field either with or without the heroes.

Remember though, the game itself is not 100% (or even 80%) balanced, so other nations simply have better chances of survival against others, heroes or not

I meant that to be an ordered list. Hinnom is my first choice.

I am interested in playing Tir na N'og.

I suggest we start now - 11 players is enough and i am impatient. Set up the game and invite us to upload pretenders.

The game will be setup tomorrow. I am going to sleep now cause I have to get up early.

Just a note:
in a game where the balance is as complicated as this one, everything is a factor. Not just national units, national spells, skills, national gem income, etc. But even something like the heroes they get. WorthyHeroes (which I totally love) can still arguably affect the vanilla balance altho probably not much. About the only "no effect" mod would be something like Streamers and Banners (altho there is some debate about the affect on players and enemies)

It also adds another layer of learning for new players. Along with email in and email out you might have install issues.
