There is also a Worthy Heroes mod thats a bit less powerful- that's standard on most of LLamabeasts games. Also worth checking out.
I'll link to em so you don't have to search. Just check this post again in about 20 minutes or less. It'll be edited in.
Edit:
P.S. In epic heroes, the nations START with their hero. In worthy, they have to come by it the old fashioned way, so no misfortune 3.
