Special Abilities for Greek Heroes Suggestion
So, there were quite a few suggestions that Greek Heroes could use a buff and especially that they feel really bland compared to the new Chinese heroes. Especially the pre-Mythic Age heroes who don't even have a special ability.
The fact is that some of the Greek heroes without a special ability are actually used in the campaign, where they do have a special ability. Namely Ajax, Odysseus, Chiron. So, in order to make the early ages greek heroes a bit more interesting and unique compared to each other, how about giving them each a special ability that is similar to what the campaign heroes get?
My idea would be that the heroes would only unlock their special ability the Age after they become available and maybe those abilities could start out weaker and get stronger in each subsequent age. The Mythic Age heroes would remain the same.
I was thinking of something like this:
Archaic Age Heroes:
They would gain their special ability in Classical Age.
Jason: Active. Same as Arkantos' Warcry ability from the campaign, where he lets out a battlecry and boosts attack of nearby friendly units for a short time. Just weaker.
Ajax: Active. His Shield Bash ability from the campaign. Starts out weaker, gets stronger in each subsequent age.
Theseus: Active. A melee strike that deals a lot of divine damage to a single myth unit.
Classical Age Heroes:
They would gain their special ability in Heroic Age.
Herakles: Active. He flies into a terrifying rage, greatly boosting his own Attack and making his attacks throw small enemy units backwards.
Achilles: Passive. He gains bonus Armor and HP regeneration the lower his HP is.
Atalanta: Active. Charges a unit at great speed and deals bonus damage to it.
Heroic Age Heroes:
They would gain their special ability in Mythic Age.
Odysseus: Active. His Piercing Arrow ability from the campaign, but stronger with a wider damage radius.
Chiron: Active. His Triple Shot ability from the campaign, but stronger.
Hippolyta: Active. Shoots a bunch of homing arrows into the air that seek out myth units.
Mythic Age heroes could remain the same.
