Editing Map Editor (section)

=== Heroes ===
The mapmaker can ban, enable and edit chosen heroes. This includes campaign heroes (such as [[Gelu]], [[Dracon]] or [[Frederick]], as well as banned-by-default heroes (such as [[Galthran]] in {{hota}}). 

==== Editing Heroes ====
For editing heroes placed on the map, see [[Map Editor - Objects#Hero properties]]. 

Heroes can be customized on the map as a whole in the following ways:
* General
** Name. 
** Experience (and Experience level {{withmapedhota}}). 
** Portrait. Note, that portraits ''can'' repeat between different heroes; on top of that, heroes may use campaign portraits. 
** Gender. This only changes the appearance on the map. 
** Always add skills {{withmapedhota}}: If set to true, the hero will gain extra skills from the additional experience customized above. 
** Hero can't gain experience {{withmapedhota}}: If set to true, the hero will not be able to gain any experience, no matter the experience level limit for the map. 
** May be hired by: The following players may hire this hero. Other players will not see the hero in the tavern, or in the Adventure Map [[Tavern]]. Note, that heroes in [[Prison]]s or [[Hero Camp]]s{{-wh}} may be hired, even if this option states otherwise.
* Biography. 
* Primary skills: These are the ''starting'' primary skills. Higher level heroes will be automatically levelled up, and therefore will have the appropriately higher primary skills. 
* Secondary skills: These are the ''starting'' secondary skills. See Primary skills. 
* Artifacts: Various artifacts, excluding the Grail and Spell scrolls {{withmaped}} (available in {{hota}}), may be added here. 
** Has spellbook. 
* Spells: These spells will appear in the hero's spellbook, provided he has one, at the beginning of the game. 

Note, that specialities and starting armies may ''not'' be customized. Therefore it is advised to customize a hero with the appropriate specialty to fit your desired hero.
