Do you always pick the same abilities and stats for heroes?
Ever had a level 30 hero be mind-controlled by enemy units?
Disappointed by the fact heroes don't gain new skills after level 11 (13 for sorceror)?

This mod changes all of that.

First off, TDI Heroes adds 3 subclasses to each hero based on their class.

At level 2, you can pick a powerful specialisation for the low cost of 1 hero upgrade point. From then on, your hero will gain new abilities based on that choice.


"I'm impatient, so shut up and show me the list already."

Second: This mod adds a mindcontrol immunity pick to each hero. The latest you can pick this is level 5.

Third: There are over 300 new abilities added to heroes in total.
Abilities have been placed over the full 30 levels, with the level 30 ability being the ultimate skill for each of the subclasses.

Fourth: Yes, you can turn into a dragon with the shapeshifter class.

If any, or all, of that sounds interesting to you, give the mod a try.

Notes:
The AI can and will pick any of the subclasses, except for the Archdruid's Shapeshifter. This is because transforming for heroes is not officially supported by the development team. It will work for your heroes, but keep in mind that it may produce errors in the log I cannot fix.
That being said, I've tested this feature plenty and it will not crash the game by itself.

If anyone wants to use my mods as a baseline to create their own mods, I am okay with that so feel free to use whatever you like.
For me, this whole project was mainly about seeing how far I could push ability design in this game, and I feel satisfied having done exactly that.

Hero classes are balanced to the other hero classes.
As this adds more abilities to heroes, this will make heroes stronger. However, every point spent in an ability is not one that went to stat points.
Also note that the abilities per subclass total for more points than the total amount of upgrade points you can get. You can download a mod that increases the points per level if you want to play with all of the abilities in one build.
