I like the new sprite.
For heroes, my only idea right now is a beefed-up version of the Neugeboren Lord. He was the commander of the Guardians when the miracle saved them all, and now he has become the patron saint of the Neugeboren Guard. Jack him up to H3 (for Divine Blessing), increase his max age (saints are a long-lived bunch) & leadership, and give him a standard effect. If you really wanted to go crazy, you could even give him a small Awe effect, but that might be overbalancing.
Looking forward to the mod! Let me know when you need a beta-tester!
