What Makes a Good Hero?

[Illuminated One]

Hmm, I disagree about limiting human heroes more than supernatural beings.

There are mythological human heroes that won against SC gods or would qualify as thugs. For example Siegfried or Perseus.
Besides combat heroes make little sense if they are only a beefed up normal unit.

You could make these extremely rare though.

AFAIK, you can't control the rarity of particular hero events. In one of the "heroes" threads that I read, someone suggested that there seemed to be a preference for certain kinds of heroes given certain scales. But, I never saw any statistically-significant evidence or anyone's analysis of Dominions code to support this or any other kind of preference or weighting.

I think maybe Illuminated just meant that one should create "superhumans" sparingly in mods.
