Ah yeah, I guess I should have at least posted how I did it, in case others might wonder how to do it.
I think I did it a little different than how SEE did it and don't fully understand all the codes, but it works for me. I might be bad at explaining things, but here is what I did, it's a little lengthy (ROTWK):
I added this code into a new INC file that went into the "includes" folder, so it could be added into all the hero's INI files easily.
HeroAIInjuredBehavior.inc
; #include "..\..\..\..\includes\HeroAIInjuredBehavior.inc"
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------
;;; Return Home Behavior
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Behavior = OCLSpecialPower ModuleTag_MaketheHomingCall
StartsPaused = No
SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilityAIMaketheHomingCall
OCL = OCL_AIMaketheHomingCall
CreateLocation = CREATE_AT_LOCATION
End
Behavior = AISpecialPowerUpdate MaketheHomingCallAI
CommandButtonName = Command_MaketheHomingCall_AI
SpecialPowerAIType = AI_SPECIAL_POWER_STANCEBATTLE ;This seems to be used when the AI-controlled hero has around 1/4 health left.
End
Added new special power code for the "HeroAIInjuredBehavior.inc" file above.
specialpower.ini
SpecialPower SpecialAbilityAIMaketheHomingCall
Enum = SPECIAL_GENERAL_TARGETLESS_THREE
ReloadTime = 60000
End
Added new OCL code for the "HeroAIInjuredBehavior.inc" file above.

FadeIn = Yes
FadeTime = 20
Offset = X:0 Y:0 Z:15
End
End
Added new object "HeroHomingBeacon". This will spawn over the hero. The AI will make the hero give this object to the fortress, much like the One Ring. It is invisible.
system.ini

End
Added new armor code for the "HeroHomingBeacon" object above.

Added the new command button above to every hero's command set, usually in a hidden slot, so that only the AI can use it. I'll use Faramir as an example.

Ermm... This piece of code is already present. "HeroHomingBeacon" has been added to the "ObjectToDestroyForRingEntry" line. "Upgrade_FortressHasBeenEntered" has been added to the "UpgradeForRingEntry" line and "Upgrade_FortressRingHero" has been removed.

Added these codes to the "TheDroppedRing" object.

Added new attribute modifier code for the codes above.

End
This upgrade code is already present. 3 EvaEvent things below have been removed from the Upgrade_RingHero upgrade.

AlliedPlayerLosesUpgradeEvaEvent = None ; For now
EnemyPlayerLosesUpgradeEvaEvent = None ; For now
End
Added new FX for when the "TheDroppedRing" is held and not a "HeroHomingBeacon." There would be an announcement everytime the AI made a hero retreat back to the fortress.

End
End
I relied on SEE's codes heavily for this, with a few changes here and there, and it seems to work just fine. When an AI-controlled hero's health is low, they will activate the hidden command button. An invisible object will then spawn over them and they will grab and take it back to the fortress, like the One Ring. Except they don't get the One Ring. This is really meant to make the AI-controlled hero retreat from battle and have some time to heal. Makes them seem a little smarter.
For a while now, I've been trying to make the heroes controlled by the AI to retreat back to their fortress when damaged, very much in a similar manner to the SEE mod. When a hero is badly damaged, an invisible One-Ring-like object is spawned over them, causing them to go and give this object to the fortress. This is really to buy the hero some time to heal. A neat way to use (or misuse...hehe) codes. 
So I've been closely following SEE's codes to see how they did it, and so far I've gotten a hero to retreat back to the fortress and deliver the invisible object, but when they do, it's like they get the One Ring upgrade and have that halo of words above their fortress. 
What I'm trying to do now is make the fortress not receive the One Ring upgrade when the AI-controlled hero delivers the object, but don't have a clue how to do it. What would need to be done? Thank you in advance for any of your help.
