First of all, I would like to say how much I really enjoy this game and look forward to spending many more hours on it. In a very short period of time it has become one of my Favorites along side MOM, the old Warlords classic and the old Heroes of M&M.

One additional feature that would make this game more enjoyable would be to the way the ‘Hall of Fame’ assigns a special attribute to a Hero. If there would be some way for the player to pick which ‘special attribute’ was rewarded or to pick a list, from which one would be randomly assigned. I am very tired, of having my mages get combat heroic abilities (increase attack, etcetera) and my Hand-to-hand warriors getting Precision increases...

Thanks

On the other hand, that makes the one that get the really cool bonus such a pleasant surprise : valor or awe on your main troop leader for example, or quickness ona combat mage...
I once had a Ulmian commander get "bellow" on turn 3 on the World War scenario. I carefully kept him in the hall of fame, by turn 40 he was up to Cause Fear (+18) IIRC.
On turn 41, the game crashed. I suspect that the fact that Ermor had 10 times the combined number of troops of all the other nations, several thousands of them by my crude estimate, might have something to do with it. I should have moved sooner against them, but I was in no hurry, and I had unfinished business elsewhere. I was not worried, not with my huge income and my 30 temples ready to crank up the priests at any time Next time I won't wait so long !

Back to the point : I think letting the player choose would be less fun; but I could go with a system where the player can choose one of the common upgrade (attack, defense, toughness, endurance) or try to get lucky and draw one of the less common ones (valor, awe, fear, ...) by choosing at random.
