Re: Getting Heroes to appear
Most of the non-mage heroes are utterly useless. Some are useful as blessers if you get them early on (like Yasini for Machaka). Some of the mage heroes, especially early era mage heroes, rock.
My favorites so far are Malphas (Abysia), Kirke (Sauromatia), Skögu (Sauromatia), Tjatse (Niefelheim), The One in the Woods (Marverni) and Athalwolf (Ulm). Some of the Helheim heroes were nothing to thumb your nose at either.
Of those, Tjatse is by far the most versatile because not only is he A3D3W3H3 or something like that, he happens to be a Niefel Jarl. On top of being a powerful mage SC chassis, he can shapechange to a Great Eagle with a flying mapmove of 4 so he can get from place to place really quickly even without trapezing.
Kirke was also ridiculously powerful magically and had some very interesting paths compared to Sauromatian norm. Athalwolf is a kick-*** hero for EA Ulm because outside of finding sages or crystal amazons, he's the only way they can get astral magic at all and he also has D2.
