Here's a question: Is there a list somewhere showing the heroes for each nation?

I'd love to know the stats for the three heroes that Ulm gets...
The Unit_ID.xls available from Arryn's site has all national hero stats in it.

There are a few who are obviously better than the average hero. Some of the most powerful are Burkhard Nachtzehrer the Blood Marshal (BF Ulm), Mictlipoctli the King of Legends (Mictlan), Ekishnugal the First King (C'tis Desert Tombs), Angerboda the Great Hag (Jotun) and Etimmu the Wraith Lord (Ermor AE & SG). The Pythian Theurg hero, Bartholomew is also a very good one, and all of R'lyeh's heroes are powerful. Ambicephalos makes for a good SC chassis and Menopathos the White Minotaur is a good thug.

Regular and IF Ulm have by far the worst heroes overall, because they have little going for them. With the right equipment they are thugs, but that's all (one has recuperation, though). No mages.

For those who are curious, the BF Ulm heroes are Burkhard, Ulrich Patrifagus the Ghoul Baron and a mage whose unit type is Member of the Third Tier. The mage is passably good with F2S2B2 and has a stealth bonus of 40. The Ghoul Baron is practically worthless. All he has going for him is Unholy Priest lv 2 and he can possibly cast Arouse Hunger every turn for free (not sure about that, though), but he's slow as hell and dies if a mage so much as gives him a hostile glance. Not a spectacular fighter either.
