No. it's a bad idea
And why 4-8 in the poll?
I mean, if there were to be a default amount of heroes, I'd say 3...
But I like it better when not all factions are way to close...
I think of it like Greece have the support of a few heroes and good troops.... dicipline while Vikings are harsh warriors who have many heroes to go on killing sprees themselves almost

I think the number of Heroes, and their strengths and powers, can be well balanced with the faction overall. This can mean a unique number of heroes per faction. At least three heroes probably, and no more than maybe twelve.

Most Mythic heroes were probably based on real people, anyway.

Both factions have an incredible amount of lore, for the historical as well as the mythological part. So, all heroes should be based on 'real' historical/mythological heroes, and their names too. IMO the question is the 'interpretation' of those into the game.

I don't think it has anything to do with powers.

A small list of heroes could be:
-Achilles
-Leonidas of Sparta
-Ajax
-Odysseus
If the suggestion of Alexander the Great comes up: No, he was no real "hero" to begin with, he was three or more steps above that level. Historicly speaking, if Alexander would be called, the other factions should be instantly defeated...
*just so you know, I'm an Alexander fan, if fan is the right word to call me that...*

please take note that, until further notice, I don't care, so get lost.

There were quite a few heroes in AoM for Greece, because you unlocked one at each age (a total of four), and they were different depending on your major god. There was Ajax, Arkantos, Odysseus, Hercules, Hippolyta, Jason, Achilles, Perseus (who could turn people to stone with Medusa's head), Chiron and some others. Possibly Circe (in the campaign at least, I don't know about random maps). I guess twelve if there weren't duplicates.
I don't think Arkantos had any real bases in Mythology, though.
