Would it be possible to have our hero mount some animals ? This would let the hero participate with calavry to blitzkrieg raids for example. Right now the hero is one of the slowest units (siege apart).
I was of course thinking of horses, but why not other mounts that offer different advantages (like mule : extra load, poney, other wild animals that would maybe give bonus attacks, etc.).
I have played Fallen Enchantress : Legendary heroes and it was possible to that in that game, which was quite fun to play btw.
