Best National Hero?

All the Pangaea nations have four heroes (Harpy Queen, White Minotaur, Black Bull, and Sheap Head). CW adds Panicratos the Apostatic Warrior, and Ambicephalos, without taking any of the others away, as far as I know. So, has a total of six.

Sheap Head? Never ever seen that one. And I've never seen the White Minotaur with CW. I'd forgotten about Panicratos though - only seen him once. (In about 10 or so CW games, and 3 or 4 New Era.)

Well, Ram's Head. But I have a certain affinity for him

speaking of aribeth, how do you use his enslave mind attack, is it attack or fire?

Pretty sure it had to be fire - I scripted Auluudh the Aboleth with a few buffs and then fire, and wound up with Bogus and 2 pals.

Wonder if it should be reported as a bug that "Enslave Mind" displays "Damage: Death" when you look at him? (Also, Enslave Mind has ammo, which usually implies 'Fire'; I'm really not sure the supposed mechanics / effect of Soul Leech, whether it's just damage, or like life drain, or.... Never had him before, except in a quick test game, given that "Try_Something_New" is my first time with R'lyeh in MP)

In terms of being a combat monster, Ambicephalos is certainly rather extreme. He keeps his many sleep vine attacks even if you fill up his three hand slots, IIRC, and two heads + three hands + foot + misc + zero-enc + high hp base allows for numerous interesting options, and he even has recuperation.

If you're more into mages, Orokestes (Arco) and Bart the Patriarch (Pythium) could both be rather nasty given that both nations have a decent shot at a communion machine. Angerboda is much more robust, however.

Here's a question: Is there a list somewhere showing the heroes for each nation?

I'd love to know the stats for the three heroes that Ulm gets...
