It Works for me I put it at the very top of my load order make sure to subscribe to the TMV patch if you use that mod

Does this still work?

Does not work, is this updated? Op is there conflicts with mods? or where should it be on the list top to bottom?

I have tried a few things but I am curious how hard or easy it is to get these Heroes to work with mods like Hero Increased Sight Range or Hero Action Points? If anyone has a suggestion on that I would be appreciative, currently I had tried just adding a EXT file named after the Unit files in this mod to the relevant Mod Folders like they are set up but that has not done anything hmhmhm.

Which I love, because then if you want you can manually go into the mod files (id in the steam URL) and customize the starter heroes.

@Vantal
That's a you problem, because it works on my end, something else might be editing your start conditions, because this mod doesn't even edit the actual heroes or anything.

Seems to work only for the AI, which is annoying..

Dang, that sucks.

No steam is currently lock on my country so it's hard to do anything

So, any thoughts to having a mod patched Starting hero for modded races? Say Farsight Enclaves for example?

Nice to see you like this mod. Sometimes simple is the best

I like to play on the slowest speed in 4X games to make it feel more immersive, and good god is this mod the best idea anyone has had for that. Tyranids were so painful going up to 100 turns without the prime

@Phaeron
I wouldn't waste too much breath on them, if you looked at their "discussions" lately.

Warboss is more OP in small map. so that's not that much unbalanced, I am also doesn't buff any heroes different from the origin.

Just starting so yes I play on small maps.

Do you play in very small map or something? SM Captain is not that strong, he is just inf producer so I doubt he make that good impact

Tried this, the Tau boi did 0.1 damage against the Space marine Captain who proceeded to wreck a bunch of my units and eventually went down to literally about 20 units of tau over several turns.

So.. a tad unbalanced

Really appreciate you taking a look at the ork warboss influence issue; they felt disadvantaged before due to missing out on that

I love the custom names for all of the factions the custom names are a great Addition great job on this mod it really makes starting the game A lot better

Let celebrate this mod has 10k visitors guy.
I pretty happy with the current name of the SH squads, how about you guys?

Great News Thanks for updating the mod

I have update new mod with Dark Eldar DLC.
Add name too. I currently use Random Name Generator so any suggestions willl be welcome

Awesome news if it’s possible It would be cool if you could give the starting heroes names to distinguish them from the other heroes Thank you for making this great mod compatible with the new DLC

Hello guys. This mod will be updated after 7 days to add new DLC.
Any change you want, please give me suggestion.

okay I get it as I don't have much money right now either thanks for the update

Sure. But I must buy the DE DLC first.
And I'm bit short on money right now

will this mod be updated for the upcoming Dark Eldar DLC

@ref
Thank for the info. I have tested and found
Ore attack is normal
Inf is zero,
The solution is raise Warboss SH as normal.

Fun mod, the only issue is with Orks their starting warboss will not generate influence or ore on attacks because his upkeep is zero

Love the mod! It really makes the early game a lot more interesting and it's great to see your starting character go from weak to powerful over the course of a match.

I think it can.

It is posible to add a Hero to the Wildfire Faction??

I dont know much about the W40k universe but I allways name my Astra tank commander Rommel

Actually. I rethink a bit and I will change the "Starting hero" names.
For now I just have


Necrons : Nemesor Amarkun

SpaceMarines : Captain Aramus

Anyone feel free to pick your favorite names for factions, include SM as well. I will gather information and implent it in the next patch

You can change it, by clicking in Hero name in game. That's way you can make your own adventure instead of me picking for you.

I really like this mod, but the "Starting Hero" as name is a downer. Please change this

Thank you!

Oh, and for the upkeep I know it's a choice and didn't intended to suggest you to change it, sorry for the confusion.

But yeah choices are good and now the options are there, thnks again for the mod.

@Tillith
You're welcome to make any change you're think it's good in your mod. It's your mod after all.

About the Upkeep cost. I don't want to change the build cause the Upkeep of SH.
About the Uniqueness: You're in the right path, My ambition for this mod early verson is Unique name, Unique skill bla bla bla. So I welcome you to explore in this path.

This orginal verson , my verson here will not change. I'm pretty happy with it and let people have option to choice is better. Let this verson is base and orginal for modder lke you to explored

So, to conclusion.
1) You're welcome to make any change in your mod as you like. As long as you keep my name in your mod as the Original.
2) This mod will not change anything from base game. I will update when new update come with buff and nerf that affect SH.

Hi, I did a version of your mod for myself that includes my Elite Space Marines changes and retains the Upkeep cost of heroes.

I also changed the names of every Starting Hero unit so it is better integrated into the base game.

I am not releasing my mod yet because I want, one your permission, and two, to ask if you want to integrate the changed names into your mod, in which case I'll need to edit my description a bit.
I really hope you like them, I did it because I like your mod so much I wanted to enhance it.

Here's the mod

Merci.

Hi, thank you for your work, I made a french translation for your mod :

You can find it here


I also made the Sororitas and Mechanicus mod for Bungalow, for anyone interested you can find it in his mod comment section until he uploads it.

ps: to french players : J'ai choisi l'adjectif "initial" pour traduire "Starting Hero" afin d'avoir un mot court et situé après le sujet pour une visibilité optimale, si vous avez une meilleure idée, n''hésitez pas à m'en faire part.

@Polskers - I got you dude.

Here's the first patch (for Gladius+) - https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2920304562

I'll start working on the Mechanicus+ and Sisters+ later.

I personally don't use Gladius +.
So let other modder do the work

Fantastic mod! :) Any chance of making it compatible with Gladius+, Mechanicus+, Sisters+ etc?

Thank. My ideal and how to do this mod is very basic. I welcome All the modder try and expand to their favorite custome factions mod

Love your work Phaeron, I've used it as a base to create a variation for Chapters of the Imperium Pt 2 - https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2917441322

Yes. I try this method but it's become very clumsy. So I abandon the ideal completely.

Is it possible to make a submod to add heros for the faction adding mods like "Chapters of the Imperium" and "Heretic Astartes" and "Children of Asuryan"?

Yes. It's big update. I recommend Starting new save

Update broke my save
