cool national heros

Boron · #1 July 19th, 2004, 12:57 PM

in my current single player game one nation against which i fight is ulm . the ai chose surprisingly bf ulm .
now they got burkard nachtzehrer as hero . he is in the hof and got heroic strength as heroic ability .
now he has 40 strenght . that's awesome wish i had him as my hero

i think he is anyway one of the most useful national hero's only the ermorian wraith lord hero and some of tien chi's heros come close

Last a question ? what's the best heroic skill ?
i guess for wraith lords and vampire lords it is heroic strength

if you give them an armor negating weapon + boots of quickness and let them cast soul vortex this could be really cool ihmo

Well imho there is a "best" skill... it's immortality. Either that or healing. Since there's a Tien Chi heroine who has both, I think it would be safe to say she's the best national hero.

Now would be the time for all the people who hate absolutes to jump on this post. Go ahead, she's clearly the best.

As for the best ability... heroic quickness is pretty sweet regardless of if you are a mage or fighter. I'd give that one the edge, but there are many others with merit.

.. and she has built-in flying and etherealness, too...

She clearly .. ummh, 'rocks' !

the best must be toughness or heroic strenght since my mages seem to get those so much

The most worthless heroic skill is undead general on an assasin. He still can't lead any units with the special ability.

Best is probably quikness.

My current favorite is a Sidhe Lord I built on the first turn, who now has Awe +10, leading the Hall of Fame.

i still think that heroic strength on a wraith lord or another immortal is really great

you can then switch between sc and antisc

quickness is easy accessable through boots of quickness for many nations .

Hey Boron: Boots of Quickness and Quickness as a heroic ability stack -- ist doch geil, oder?

Very true... the boots of quickness increased AP's from the 40's to the 80's for one of my Ice Devils.

for fighting mages yeah . they can do 4 buffs in 1 combat round then

i am quite convinced that quickness is really the nicest heroic ability .

how much different heroic abilities do exist ?
and can every type of hero get them or are there class-abilities like only mages or only fighters ?
