Give him nature 2, healing, a bow of war, accuracy of 20, st of 14, standard of 10. That's a good hero!

True. Note though that this hero can appear in play - you just need a strong archer in the hall of fame with Heroic Accuracy (well, and an item that gives him a standard). That is, you get real strong heroes when they actually have a heroic history from the events in the game, which is (IMO) cool. If you add heroes that are not just (good hero material), but are already strong hero/SC's, then you omit the "how they became a hero" part, and if you re-play the mod, you know in advance who the likely hero/SC's are going to be. E.g. "Let's wipe out Greece before they get that darned Chiron or Heracles!"

But again, proceed. Sounds interesting, but I think overall I like the existing system where the heroes are usually just a few notches better than a usual commander, until something improves them during play.
