Herode, Yomi is actually the worst possible example to use as to why Ulm should not get a leader of both men and undead.
Yomi was given a specific demon general that can lead 120 men and 70 undead.

Be that as it may, the people have spoken!

I think giving something to Man is a good idea, as it non diverse and weak magic (out of capitol mapmove 1 and old crones) makes it a very bad nation for long/big games (and the little thugable knight don't look too powerful).

On the other hand LA Ulm look like a good nation for big games, with the vampire based blood strategy, so I'm not sure it needs something.

This one is a hero. But as for regular commanders I was talking, the Dai Oni leads 20 men only, and the Oni General 10.

But yes, this hero is pretty cool ^^ (and boostable)

Yomi's demon general is not a hero. You can buy him at the start of the game for 100 gold!

Please let me know the details of the research mod when you find them out. It effects how I make my pretender.

LA Ulm gets the national spell Sanguine Heritage, which brings a commander with loads of all kinds of leaderships. Only thematic for vampires to lead their undead forces...

and which of their mages can cast it? if they face a bless rush they likely need someone to lead the undead in the 1st year, not down the road. heh.

If they face a bless rush in the first year, they might not need to ferry the undead very far.

True dat

I am also taking a look at Worthy Heroes Mod. Expect some tinkering and a 1.9 version to be used for Kingmaker.

At the very least that annoying Hornblower hero that thinks he should be a pretender for every nation will be put in his place. And at most you may see a few new heroes added.

While i have not yet had time to sort through the maze that Turin created, he did say he favored some of Burnsaber's heroes fairly recently. So I will see what races those heroes are for.

Some races do need Worthy Heroes. Edi created an interesting hero for MA Oceania a while back, and at 1st blush MA Oceania appears to need Worthy Heroes. We shall see.

It may not be a good idea to take 3 misfortune this game baalz. In fact, the whole point of Worthy Heroes is to act as a counterpoint to the elite gamers who always seem to take 3 order/2-3 misf.

I hate to do this, but my summer schedule has more travel than I thought. I'd hate to delay the game for several dozen players, and I know there are plenty of people waiting to join, so I'm going to go ahead and sit this out.
