I will respond to a pm.

Yes the Epic Heroes Mod does have a fundamental change on the game in some respects. It does allow for sleeping pretenders for races who otherwise would never dare take a sleeping or imprisoned pretender.

It does allow some races that are weak out of the gate a fighting chance to survive until mid game. But I do not view that as a bad thing.

So yes, it adds new options in strategy and gameplay for existing races.
