Standard special ability, totally pointless?

And - heroes should be _heroic_.

Thank the Great Pumpkin that Turin seems to be working on a Heroic Commanders again.

Whether heroes should be better than other commanders of the nation or not is a matter of taste. I don't think it's that important. There are some things I'd like to add to national heroes, but they are additional mechanics, not changes to their stats.

I like the Heroic Commanders mod. I just wouldn't like seeing few humans achieve something that's disturbingly superhuman in a game where all humans ARE just humans. Double hp compared to a normal humans is A LOT already. It probably isn't enough, but that's a different beast altogether. Same with att/def in the 13 to 15 range. It's already very good for mere humans, but the existence of immensely superior beings play it down quite a lot. Bane Lords have att 14, def 13. The Ulmish heroes are THAT GOOD already. Hildegard actually has better stats then the angelic Seraph, and is equal to uniques like Water Queens in skill!
