So since this ended, any comments on the worthy heroes mod? Or did everyone go with the usual misfortune 2-3 ?

I was happy with Worthy Heroes, it was great. I played with misfortune so I only got one hero (the sentient hydra) but I thought it was a very good unit and was excited to have gotten it. If I was in a game with Worthy Heroes again, I would definitely take Luck (since dom3+cb makes that a feasible choice) so that I could get more of the heroes.

Is it possible to increase the number of heroes available to a nation?

I didn't get any heros

but cb made dwarven hammers unrealistically expensive/rare. Dwarven smiths couldnt forge them, even with boots.

Hammers should be no problem for dwarves, 1/4 have e4, or get them using boots. However, I assume you mean Ulmish smiths, which people repeatedly refer to as dwarves for reasons I can't fathom.

While I don't intend to lower the cost of hammers (they are still a incredible deal if you can get them), I do plan to help Ulm's access to them by separating out the smiths 10% earth random from the astral/air/fire. With 10% of smiths getting e3 (and you should be pumping these like crazy anyway) you would have to be pretty unlucky to not be able to reach hammers via boots.

I played with Luck 3 and, while I accidentally knocked myself out of the game before I could use them, I was really happy with the heroes I got. I think that with CB + Worthy Heroes luck is more valuable than order, because you can get heroes early on that can really help out. But, I have always been a fan of strong heroes.

I played with luck 3 and got just the one wolf rider hero whihc still did not seem useful really.

I thought that hammers were pretty steep too, yeah. I understand that they are a big savings when you start forging high level items... but it does make regular forging quite a bit tougher. Over the course of this game I built two hammers (my pretender happened to have E4) but later on I regretted it. All the earth gems that went into the second hammer was equipment I could not make for my SC.
