how to move a henchman into a hero slot?

[Adam]

I have an open hero slot, and if I click the plus sign, I get the option to hire a henchman there (in addition to the options to hire heros). But if I click the button to rearrange my troops, I can't move a henchman from my reserves into the hero slot. (It shows a slashed circle over the hero slot.) The tutorial says I can have henchmen in hero slots but not vice versa. I've noticed lots of UI bugs in the warband management screen. Is this one of them? Or is there a reason I can hire a henchman into a hero slot but not move one there?

(I won't be able to respond due to a problem with Steam Guard, but thanks for any replies.)

Thanks, Paranoia. The five-of-a-type limit may have been the problem! I did have 5 Sisters at the time and wanted to bring in a 6th from reserves.

Thanks, happy. No, I've never used The Lad's Got Talent.

Odd, I have no issue.

Do mind that you can only have 5 of same Henchman though, so if your Henchie-slots are already filled, you can't put another in as a Hero.
And yes, that also limits rearranging, go through reserves to do that.

could be a bug.

or not.

if you have a Lad got Talent henchman, he s a hero now, but still counts as a henchman via its original ID.

and this leads to odd situations where you can have 4 LGT as heroes, but only one hench of that ID.

in the case where you have 3 hench of a type plus two others promoted as heroes, you cant place a extra hench of that type in a hero slot.
you can use hench of the other type.

do you have LGTs by any chance? if yes, have you tried the hero slot with both types of hench?

EDIT.or it could be that you didn t know the hench were limited to 5^^
