ENDLESS™ Space is a turn-based 4X strategy game, covering the space colonization age in the ENDLESS™ Universe. You control every aspect of your civilization as you strive for galactic dominion.
So far it looks like they'll be getting one more each. Which would bring their totals to... Two. Still way to low to remain viable with this kind of set-up. I like the concept, but the game simply isn't ready for it yet.

There are plans to give them more and a g2g vote going on right now about it as well.
I feel like I'm in some parallel universe, because I still don't get why weren't there only faction specific heroes in the first place. In other words, there should definitely be a game option for this.

I want to vote none of the above. I should only be able to access heros from my own race at the start, and as the game goes on the probability of getting heros from different races should increase.
Yeah, I posted something similar in another thread. Starting heroes should be your own races, as you encounter other races, the chance of recruiting from them increases.
With regards to the only own faction heroes at the start, exceptions can be made for special heroes but should be lower chance (such as endless and similar "other" race heroes).
It really bugs me more than it should that in 90% of games, I don't ever get a hero of the race/faction I'm playing.

Sounds like a solid idea. I would likely play with this setting on 90% of the time. Although i do enjoy using the sower heros as they look pretty cool.
Well, agree to the point that obtaining a character from a race you just declared a war to is . . strange. I get the feeling that this character betrayed his own race and, therefore, don't want to have him active.
On the other side, having alien characters from allies would be realistic.

I'm not sure how everyone else feels about this. hence the reason for the poll. I find it kind of atmosphere breaking that the heroes races do not match their factions.
[LIST=1]
It is perfect the way it is: What ever the reasoning it does not need to be changed.
Yes, each faction should only receive heroes of their faction: Basically the Amoeba faction should only receive Amoeba heroes to hire.
Yes, but it should be a game option: A game option to toggle this on or off at the player choice.
Yes, but only most of the time: Each faction should receive heroes of their faction most of the time, perhaps 20% chance of cross faction.

Don't want to get behind because my faction does not have a good admiral or administrator in it's hero pool.
I will be attempting this as a mod after I finish the one I'm working on now. I do plan on taking hero abilities in consideration. I'll make sure each side is balanced.

Hero recruitment restrictions + A tech for the Diplomacy tree... That's not such a bad idea.
I think that factions should old have access to heroes of their faction until they meet the other races. You shouldn't be able to hire a Craver hero if you haven't even discovered the Cravers.
I'm would love to make a mod for this, although it seems like the assignment of heroes is not in the XMLs .For now I just wanted to gather sentiments of how everyone feels about this. No sense in taking the time if I'm the only one bothered by it. I would like this to be a nice reference thread for to look back to for ideas and information relating to it.

The way it is now is a little too liberal and tolerant for me. There should be more racism and loyalism.
For one thing there should be loyalist heroes who are only available for their own faction. I think one per faction would do, who may even be a higher level than ordinary heroes.
Then there should be less tolerance towards heroes of different (player) factions. Make their pay higher or make them less efficient on factions other than their own. The very least you could do is tweak the parameter that decides what heroes the faction gets, so it gets more of its own heroes.
For game balance's sake you might even make it difficult only for the war-factions, peaceful and tolerant factions can hire any hero.

I also don't think a faction such as the human-supremacist UE or the "eat them! all"-ist Cravers should be that keen on heroes of other species. (As a UE player, I can at least say I'm like that.)
Well said, I agree with you. I'm looking into seeing if making a mod for this is within my capability.

I'd like to see maybe 50% of your heroes come from your faction. Especially at the start of the game, at least 2 or the 3 should be from your faction (if possible).
50% is enough to be the majority and preserve the feel of it being "your side", but also giving your line-up the variety and interest that comes from a cosmopolitan band of heroes from all over.
Another option would have been you only start with your own heroes. Then, any minor faction, pirate or Endless heroes become available. Then, any deceased factions or non-playing faction heroes become available.
