hero spam is not what this game should be

[Ashardalon]

is there a mod that prevents both player and ai from just making armies out of heroes and nothing else

[Eldi]

You should really get into modding.

[Immortalis]

Well, as a player you don’t need any mod, simply stop putting heroes in your armies once they already have one or two accompanying them.

As for AI, not to my knowledge but I don’t feel like they are spamming heroes either. At which point would you draw the line though? Four heroes? Less?

The more posts like this I read the more I fear for the player bases apparent utter lack in self-restraint.

more then 3 starts to be silly
once you reach 5 its no longer a game about armys

I haven't seen an AI put more than 3 heroes in an army, left along 5. The only one who mass heroes is the player themselves, i.e., me.

This, plus they have a lot of utility outside of armies.

The first rule off Doomstacks is, you don't have to doomstack. ;)

so many assumptions
none of them correct

I understand this, hero spam is way too strong. But, I have to say that I rarely see the AI have more than 2 heroes per army. And I myself never use multiple heroes for my armies, except when it makes sense lorewise (like having 2 or 3 necromancers in a Vcount army)

I've really only seen it in VCounts and dwarfs. And SEM spam from HE as Grom (which was annoying because it forced me to do the same and that's not how I like to build my armies).

The Cost-Based Caps mod limits every army to two heroes max.

The mod hasn't been updated in a while but still works with the current version of the game.

Because I've never seen the AI herospam so it must be something you think players shouldn't do?

[art_loots]

only AI army i hae seen with more then 3 hero's is belegar ironhammer with his special hero's doomstacking hero's is something you do and if you are to weak mentally just to think hey i stop at 2-3 hero's then you have bigger issues then the game lays before you. and the game does lay before you some mayor issues...

This has been my experience as well.

The ai does a pretty good job of balancing armies these days for the most part.
