1) This would be nice.

2) Bullcrap. They get what heroics they get and that's that. If it's not directly useful in optimally boosting the hero, too bad. He's a hero, but he might be most famous for something not actually related to his main occupation (e.g. mages with heroic strength). Otherwise I'd want 3rd Eye for all of my mages and either Heroic Agility or Awe for all of my other heroes.

3) No. The manual is there for a reason and we don't actually need things that encourage piracy, which is what a Civilopedia type help system would do.

4) This is something that has been discussed and it would be nice to have some small bonus from the leftover points.
