what are all the heros?

[fainez]

is there a hero for every faction? do some have more than one hero? when do they spawn for each country? etc etc

[Grislok]

Each has its' hero and they spawn based on certain conditions that must occur. They might never spawn. In a nearly 100 turn game as Sicily I have seen about 12 spawn with an announcement for each. Not mine tho.

I have noticed the same thing. I am also playing Sicily and it is turn 120+ and I have not yet received a hero. I will have to look at the triggers and see if and when I should be expecting one.

Would you consider posting a shot of your empire for me? Love to compare notes and gauge my progress. I am historically, slow to expand.

Sicily Campaign Screen Shot

As you can see it is now turn 147 and I am at war with Milan, Venice and France. I am currently allied with the Papal States but they have backstabbed me twice during the campaign even with Perfect relations. The only way I have found to keep them from attacking me is to heavily reinforce any regions that may be threatened. If I outnumber them, they seem to leave me alone. I also try to keep my relation level at Outstanding at minimum. Although I am fighting a two front war I am holding my own. Venice was recently excommunicated which helps my cause and gives me freedom to attack them and keep them on the ropes. I read in another post about the heroes and that not all factions have them. Maybe Soul or someone will finish adding them or maybe we could divide the work and come up with a few possibilities.

I noticed that the Militia Barracks upgrade for the large city does not allow the construction of any foot soldiers (just crossbowmen) until age of gunpowder. I modified the export_descr_buildings.txt file to allow Sicily to recruit Italian Spear Militia with this building, just like Milan and Venice.

Best wishes on your campaign.

[Tissot]

Interesting Campaign, the thing I love about Sicily is that you have multiple paths to take whether it be defeating the Byzantines, Destroying the Egyptians, Conquering Italy, or going after the Moors.

[Tissot]

Does this feature require HHB?

[Magefsx]

Does this feature require HHB?

yes

[Peteriscoolz]

And there is really nice models for all heroes.

[chris7ian]

every faction doesnt have a hero yet. look in the campaign script to see which factions do and what is needed for them to spawn. or check my spoiler.

Yep- they were the first faction I played in vanilla as well as KGCM, and are definately my favorites, due to their awesome units . I find them a pretty unique faction to play, moreso than most european nations bar scotland, ireland the TO.

[Tissot]

My favorite Vanilla faction was the Venetians as if you play them right you can easily steamroll Europe. In KGCM I have to give it to the Teutonic Knights as they provide a challenge and have an awesome unit roster.
