Default An idea concerning National Heroes

I was taking a look at the games in the Thunder pack (by Stormcloud Creations, I believe)....and I came across something in some of those games that I think could maybe add somemore **fun** to the game (along the same lines as the Arena Competitions)...

What about being able to send your National Heroes on quests? I don't know exactly how it could be done, possibly something along the lines of their stats and all, mixed with some die rolls. But the rewards could be unique & powerful items/artifacts....the worst that could happen could be that they could die (or, even possibly be possessed and return to the kingdom with undead/demon warriors, ect.)

I know it is not needed...I know that the devs may (and probably not) even use this idea...BUT, it would add more flavor to the game I think....and, well, I like the idea, quite frankly

Well, that is my idea....don't ever say i didn't offer something for the game

Sounds cool, and it would boost luck scale too since heroes would be more important.

Hmmmm I would think that eventually the list of quests would end up being as long as the list of luck events, maybe as long as the equipment list.

But one way I can see adding it fairly simply would be to make it along the line of the Arena thing. A message says you are being asked to send someone on a quest. Quest shows up as an option for commanders that round the way participating in the arena does. Next turn you see the result.

I think it should be hero only though, since they could IMO do with a boost.

right, national heroes ONLY, handled similar to the way death match competition is handled, only that there is no international combat....

So, you think that is a good idea?
