Limited Heroes
Is there any way to turn heroes (aside from the ruler) off entirely, or at least limit the number of spawning heroes to something like 2 or 3? I like running long games and its awful to have all these pointless heroes runing around, not to mention the "A hero offers to join you" notification haunting me every turn. I looked for a mod to turn them off/limit them but found nothing.

Agreed. I wish there was an option to limit heroes like we had in AOW3. Or the option for only 1 per stack.
I think you mean governor / logistics & magical artillery officer

Yeah that would be a nice option.

Or an option to cap heroes at a certain number and let them be governors only or something. Once there are a bunch running around it's considerable tedious micro-management and there's something about having tons of heroes that makes them feel just too common and not very interesting.

I'd even settle for an option to slow the rollout of new hero's. I find the game kind of drowns you in them, be nice to have the option to generally slow down the number of heros both I and the AI get.
How about just forcing the AI not to stack 4+ heroes in a stack and calling it a day. I've seen it do that far too often.
I don't get how you can see heroes as pointless? They're literally the strongest units available.

Pointless heroes? You've obviously never played Feudal: Aristocracy with Cult of Personality trait.

I also like long running game and I always find myself at a shortage of heroes. But to each their own and all that.

I have; and it bankrupted me, and I couldn't recruit or build anything :(
Personally, I think heroes should level a little faster, but if they die you lose one hero cap and must earn/buy another before getting a new hero or reviving the lost one.

Yep, at least "offers to join" notification shouldn't appear every turn

I can get on board with that. I also would like to see a max hero cap per stack. Maybe 1 per stack is too restrictive, but 2 is reasonable, I think.

Every 5th turn or so would be nice.
