Hero population slider

Player agency is great in games, its what makes them games not movies or books (also great btw).

Could a slider for the number of heros which will be available in a game be implimented.

Something along the lines of [none] : [rare as hens teeth] : [normal] : [one per system at end game]

And a slider of drop down selector for the number of starting heros.

I think 2 heros per empire would give more agency particularly in the first few turns while you are waiting for your second colony and XII (but some people might not feel that way, hence the choice)

This also might be a way to thematically balance the Horatio and Vodyani's shaky start; one extra hero.
