More Legendary Heroes (All-Faction Random) [BETA]

This mod introduces 65+ legendary heroes (not part of the official lore), who are variants of vanilla heroes or lords, featuring unique traits and skill trees. Since the recruited heroes are randomly selected each time, every campaign will feature a different combination of heroes, making your gameplay experience more diverse and dynamic.

The purpose of this mod is to allow every faction to collect and develop legendary heroes from different cultures in the campaign, just like Tamurkhan. There are many legendary hero mods out there, but they often have limitations: some only offer one or two heroes, while others provide a large number but make recruitment difficult. Additionally, when spread across all factions, each faction ends up with only a handful of legendary heroes.

I also wanted every campaign to feel like a roguelike experience, where each playthrough offers different legendary heroes rather than the same ones every time. That’s why I created this mod. Since I am a solo mod creator without a team and with limited free time, I chose to create legendary variants of existing vanilla heroes and lords. This helps save time on modeling and art so I can focus more on gameplay design and mechanics.

These legendary heroes retain the same base stats as their original counterparts, but they have unlocked previously mutually exclusive skills and gained unique traits and abilities.

Most of these heroes can summon units in battle that do not degrade over time. This design choice was made considering that many players prefer large-scale, multi-unit battles over single-entity stacking. Even if your army consists of multiple single-entity heroes, you can still witness massive armies clashing on the battlefield. Additionally, many underused units in the vanilla campaign, which players rarely recruit, will now have a chance to appear and make an impact.

The overall power level of these legendary heroes is benchmarked against Markus Wulfhart's Hunters and Tamurkhan’s Chieftains. My goal is to make them strong but not overpowered, ensuring they enhance rather than trivialize the player's experience. If you feel that any hero is too strong or too weak, feel free to share your feedback in the comments!

This mod should be compatible with almost all other mods. Please report any compatibility issues in the comments.

In overhaul mods such as SFO and ATC, the stats of these legendary heroes will be automatically adjusted to match the overhaul's balance.

This mod supports multiplayer.

• More legendary heroes.

• Progression mechanics for heroes (growth traits, special missions).

• Expanded lore and legendary artifacts for heroes.

• Personalized recruitment and progression quests for each hero.

You can now use the Mod Configuration Tool (MCT) to disable heroes. This allows you to prevent certain heroes from appearing—for example, if you don’t want to recruit Chaos heroes while playing an Order faction (or vice versa).

This mod includes some legendary variants of lords and heroes from various DLCs, as well as skills that summon units from those DLCs. You don’t necessarily need all the DLCs to start the game, but I can’t guarantee that you won’t encounter bugs. If you do run into any issues, please leave a comment to report them.

That’s intentional. I too enjoy watching a hero grow from level 0 to level 50, slowly becoming stronger. But if excess skill points are simply refunded and spent on the same attributes for every hero, it strips away what makes each of them unique. I want every hero’s progression to feel distinct and meaningful.
For example, if a hero reaches level 25 and completes their entire skill tree, a refund system might grant them +2% hit points per level—resulting in +50% HP by level 50. Instead of that, I prefer giving heroes new meaningful skills, legendary gear, and powerful quests between levels 25 to 50. By the time they hit level 50, the attributes and abilities they’ve gained will far surpass any simple health bonus.

You can disable all new hero spawns at any time using the Mod Configuration Tool (MCT). You’re free to change this at any time—disable the heroes when you need a break, and re-enable them later if you change your mind.

Because I’m a solo mod creator. My time, energy, and workload are limited, so I have to develop heroes in stages. But don’t worry—this mod is actively and continuously updated! Your likes and support are what keep me going!

I plan to implement multiple endings for heroes from Order-aligned factions, depending on the choices players make early in the campaign. One possible outcome is falling entirely into Thazurach’s scheme. But the other? Being awakened—enlightened—by Aotian Long, and joining the Legendary Celestial General in resisting Thazurach.
