cool national heros

[Boron]

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

I don't think this question is really answerable. There is no "best".
Heroic strength, for instance, is useless for most mages, while heroic precision is useless for most melee combatants and heroic valor is often wasted on assassins.
The only ones which are sure to be useful for anyone at all, no matter what context, is heroic quickness and heroic magic resistance.

that's right "best" is not a good word in this context.

so lets say good heroic abilities for meeleechars and for magicians

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
