* "Hero" you get a random hero from any race. The hero shows up as a normal unit, but loses his magic skills since he is not a commander (if you cast gift of reason on him, he still has no spells available). You cannot ask for a specific hero however.

Oh, really?

Just started up an SP game to put this to the test. Researched Wish, wished for "Maker of the Maze" and got me a spankin' new Daidalos. I then wished for "Great Hag", and snagged an ultra-rare Angerboda, still in her original packaging. 'course, they got generic names when I gifted them with reason, but they also retained their magic levels.

Unfortunately, Etimmu is still unavailable, what with that generic descriptor of his. Not that this matters, as not even Etimmu is worth 100 astral pearls and a turn of an ubermage's time.

wishing for "hero" just gives you the arco hoplite hero. There are several heroes named hero, but only he showed up in my games.

you can get the others just fine, auluudh the aboleth might even be worth the gems if you are playing a water nation.
