Not a bad idea. As long as the level of the hero would stay the same and not reset when you started a new battle; allowing that hero to be more personal to you. Perhaps you could even customise a hero yourself? Similar to LORT BFME2 on the PC. Also going to AOE 3 I liked the fact that you would have like your "home city" where you would get upgrades, perks etc. Perhaps a similar thing to this would be good. I love customisation... And again, animations for formations would be very awesome. This may be better as well if you could say for example get 20 Roman Spearman and 20 Roman Swordsmen and "merge" them so that they sort of "one unit" ? If that makes sense. And an icon would appear at the top right/left of your screen and if you clicked it you highlight that group of units you just merged. This would allow you to control your units more effectively. Just an idea. Please comment.
