How many heroes?
 

Hello again,

I've been under the impression that all nations have 3+ national heroes. Some of the players in my group disagree.

I'm sure somebody here knows how this is.

Re: How many heroes?
 

It depends on the nation. Some nations have more heroes, and some nations have less.

For example, I think that LA Atlantis only has one hero.

Re: How many heroes?
 

I could be wrong, but I believe all nations have slots for 3 heroes and a (possibly 2?) multiheroes.

In vanilla, not all nations have those slots filled.

Try the Worthy Heroes mod. Even without the rest of CBM, it adds some pleasant surprises.

Re: How many heroes?
 

It is possible to mod in 6 heroes and 2 multiheroes. I believe this is the vanilla limit as well because it was upped from 5 to 6 when some changes were made to one of the Oriental based nations changing their hero count from 5 to 6.

Re: How many heroes?
 

They have at least two. Apart from the Arssartut riding the Tupilak, there's the "once and future queen", L'ghux, a monstrous Basalt Queen with H4. Perhaps she was added in the patch where LA Atlantis got their underwater additions? (turning them into a capable nation imo)

Re: How many heroes?
 

I hope somebody has a definitive ansver. Some of my groups player belive that Early R'lyeh only has one hero, and so does early Helheim and Late age Jotunheim.

Re: How many heroes?
 

Some nations definitely have less heroes than others. I'm not sure about those 3 specifically. I would not be at all surprised to find they only had 1.

Re: How many heroes?
 

On a side note, the CBM includes the Worthy Heroes mod, which adds/enhances the heroes of almost all nations.

The topic of a "hero database" arose a few days ago in another thread, but I don't recall any definitive answer. Is there a way to see them all without having to run a massive all-ages game for something like 300 turns?:D

Re: How many heroes?
 

Your friends are right, some nations do have fewer than 3. There is your answer!

You listed two that do for sure.

Re: How many heroes?
 

In vanilla, maybe. However if you look through the cbm mod, La jotunheim and ea r'lyeh definitely have more than one hero. I couldn't find any for helheim though.
