Yes, there is the Giant Olm pretender! I should definitely choose him in one of my next games.

Yes they do.

I have autorouted from a single blood mage casting blood spells before.

No. They count as neutral I think.

With regards to spelling, if I got a penny every time somebody mixes up "morale" and "moral", I could probably bail out America's debt.

The rate of hero acquirement is based on you luck scales. Or 3% chance of a hero per turn -+1% per luck point. Its not a random event, it is a separate check.

Some nations can get infinite heroes through so called Multi-heroe chassis. Other nations have a limited amount of heroes.

In vanilla some nations have few, or no(?) heroes at all (Patala?). Other nations only have terrible heroes that are little better than indy commanders. (MA Ulm). Lanka is special in that it can actually get units that it can summon as heroes, witch is rather underwhelming.

Continuing the hijack, who do you think is the best multihero available on the game (Vanilla and CBM)?

Ohhhh...

OK, well I've played quite a few SP random games with various races. I am under the distinct impression that I tended to get either 1 or 2, more pertinently, they were always relatively early in the game; definitely none later on, when I was doing well. Am I plain mad/wrong, how would that gell with what you say?

What nations have you played? Some don't have any or very many heroes. Also, if you're not playing with mods, that can limit the number of heroes.

Umm, a bit of each, I think.

So I thought that meant you'd get a smattering throughout the game, whoever you were, given not too much misfortune.

But are you saying, each nation can only have so-many heroes, so once you've had them (earlier in game), you don't get any more later??

[Edit: I only play vanilla, SP]
