Heroes and Generals

“Heroes and Generals” is a revision mod for AOM:EE that aims to change several game mechanics, in particular those relating to the use and balance of heroes, in addition to adjusting and adding various other content.
1) Addition of campaign heroes to skirmish mode:
Multiple campaign heroes have been added to the skirmish game mode. They were all rebalanced and distributed among the different civilizations and ages within the game. Characters like Gargarensis, Kastor and Arkantos, for example, can now be trained in matches outside the campaign. Relive the nostalgia of fighting alongside old companions on new battlefields (like Amanra and Folgstag) or control those present in the campaign but who couldn't be controlled (like Theris and Kemsyt).

2) New Heroes:
In addition to the addition of campaign heroes, completely new ones were also created. Furthermore, many of them have special abilities, some completely new and completely new. Your civilization now has new, unique, never-before-seen heroic units. All new playable characters have names in accordance with the civilization and are completely knowledge-friendly. Lead your armies with powerful heroes and use them to destroy your enemies.

3) Recovery of existing heroes and semi-heroes:
Some previously non-playable characters can now be controlled in combat, such as the Regent, Krios, and Emperor Yao. All with unique abilities to help their civilization ensure supremacy. Even Athena now functions as a complete hero, and can even fight in battle (that's right!).

===================================================

Below are some heroes and their abilities:

•Amnu: Egyptian Camel Hero who has a spear throw capable of killing enemies instantly. He can also train a unique unit: Amnu's guard, special camel drivers with a unique look.
* Pollux: Atlantean knight hero who releases a powerful war cry and increases the attack of nearby allies (similar to Arkantos);
* Skarde: Norse Eineihar hero who throws enemies around him into the air, causing them great damage;
* Tarkus: Atlantean destroyer hero who can crush buildings with his special ability (similar to the Mountain Giant);
* Vibald: Hersir hero with a unique look who can launch enemies with his hammer blow (similar to Kastor and Ajax). His name was inspired by a secondary hero who faces Arkantos in the "Welcoming Committee" scenario of "Fall of the Trident";
* Niordsir: Norse knight hero with a war cry that boosts nearby allies. It has a unique visual texture. His name was inspired by a secondary hero who helps Chíron in the "A Long Way From Home" scenario in "Fall of the Trident";
* Sethos: Egyptian avenging hero who throws enemies around and causes them great damage (similar to the battle boar);
* Tambal: Leader of the Nubian mercenaries and captain of Amanra. He has a powerful spear blow and can train Nubian mercenaries (archers, infantry and cavalry);
* Kos: Leader of the Atlantis automatons. Can train special SPC automatons.

In addition to the examples above, existing heroes were reworked and gained new abilities, or had their abilities increased;

* Onrlu: can release a wolf howl that damages surrounding enemies (Similar to the Nemean lion);
* Santa: has a powerful kick that can instantly kill villagers, caravans and dwarves. Furthermore, its special crushing ability can now be used against large mythical units, such as the colossus and mountain giants, among others;
* Bjorn: fusion of two existing heroes: Flag Bearer of Folgtag and Polaris. In other words, he is now a metamorph hero, a human who can transform into a powerful bear during combat. His special ability is a ground strike that knocks enemies in front of him (similar to the Heka Giant);

The 5 types of leaders are: 1) Regent (Greek); 2) Pharaoh (Egyptian); 3) King (Norse); 4) Theocrat (Atlantean) and; 5) Emperor (Chinese). The characters are:
