Hero Units...Will they come back?

And why CA shouldn't concentrate themselves on more important feature.
Seriously instead of three micro unit destroying all the balance of the game wouldn't it best to ask a greater number of unit.
When CA will be able to show all the variety of the different armies of the antic era then fine you may ask for those hero unit if you want.

But before talking about any hero type unit I would like see first what diversity can we expect for each faction.
If all faction should have 10 units with half of it been clone unit then sorry but some hero units would only be an insult.

Spartan Hoplites, Myrmidon, Vestal Virgin Cohorts, Sacred Band Cavalry all these expect Heroes of 300BC DLC in March 2014.

That's for the DLC "Heroes of the West"
With the DLC "Heroes of the East" featuring Ramesses 2 guard and the Immortal.
And the DLC "Barbarians Warlords" with Germans berserk, Gaulish druids.
ALL in sell three month after the release of Rome 2.

But if I might correct you the Myrmidon would only be available with the pre-order version.
(4 unit for one DLC is far too much)

You must of not ever played warcraft 3 its simply the best rts game for years untill sc2 and coming of DOTA 2 recently kinda half the community.

Heroes in wc3 basically did their job right and in custom maps even better they still take damage maybe not as easily as footman do but they do take alot of damage they have some heals but eh in TW u cant heal an army up or a single unit because it'll be pointless, but Heroes did have Auras and thats how u get your advantage weather the aura helps ur armour levels/health regen/strength it helped.

I have played that game a lot of time and enjoyed it.

TW games are different games than any other and I do not want them to transform in any other kind of a game. They are special for me for what they are now.

Seems to me the best way to add heros would be to have slightly more recognisable individuals appear in a unit is it becomes more experienced.

The closest to hero units would be that units have retainers and traits, and these become apparent on the battlefield. Having "veteran centurion" naturally gives the unit a new centurion model, among other things, and being the 1st cohort doubles it's unit count.

I don't want units being heroes.
