Starting Hero [ESM Edition]

Hello, this is literally Starting Hero from Phaeron Amarkun, most of the codding is his, you can find the original mod Here .

This is just a version of the mod that retains Heroes upkeep and that includes the upgraded Space Marine Captain and Chaos Lord from my Elite Space Marines (ESM) mod. (they basically have +1 HP, and + 25% damage but +2 upkeep)

I also changed the Heroes names, and to represent their special status gave them roughly +25% HPs that will serve as an extra cushion so you don't lose them easily since they can't be recruited.

And now thanks to Devian they also come with their own tailored specific flavor text.


Lord Starting Hero = OverLord (+3 HP)
Warboss Starting Hero = Warlord (+3 HP)
Archon Starting Hero = Great Achon (+2 HP)
Captain Starting Hero = First Captain (+2 HP)
Autarch Starting Hero = Great Autarch (+2 HP)
Cadre Fireblade Starting Hero = Shas'El (+2 HP)
Canoness Starting Hero = Canoness Superior (+2 HP)
Chaos Lord Starting Hero = Chaos Warmaster (+2 HP)
Skitarii Marshal Starting Hero = Master of Skitarii (+2 HP)
Tyranid Prime Starting Hero = Tyranid Prime Alpha (+4 HP)
Lord Commissar Starting Hero = Commissar General (+2 HP)

(no I don't have OCD, but it's nice, right ?)

Same as the original mod, should be compatible with everything that doesn't alter the >Factions files.
