custom heroes and heroes as unit

[shadowknight]

hey, i just got two cool ideas to improve heroes.

1. Custom Heroes
i think, it would be cool, if the player could design a custom hero to travel with him at the beginning of a new game.
also the player should have the option to not have a custom hero.

2. Heroes as "Unit"
The other idea is to make a command to select only heroes. Like everyone, infantry, archers, cavalry and others, but with "heroes" instead.

P.S.: i tried to use some stuff like bold etc. in this thread.
what do you think? does it look cool?

I don't know mate but I dislike the Custom Hero thing.

The second suggestion is good. M&B used to have a "companions" only command in which you command only your buddies but the dev. took it out.

The bold stuff is very common, it definately adds some flavor and convenience to the reader's eye.

The custom hero thing seems like something that could be in a mod...

I like the 2nd Suggestion!

Someone on a different thread had the idea of going into a tavern and creating a custom companion there - think I like that better.  Maybe you and the new companion have a KotOR-type encounter with a didactic conversation where your answers determine what his/her skills are, etc.
