I need help/ideas...

I want to enable the player(s) to click on the unit they want and then use that unit as their hero. I can do the clicking-placing-whatever part. The problem is, I don't want to customize every little attack/defense based stat to make all the units equal. Is there a shortcut? Also, is there a way to make, say, an archer have a level system?

That's called being lazy, buddy. If you wanted them all to have the exact same armor/health/mana/etc., base all heroes after one hero. But that at your point could be more work than actually balancing. It must be done. The spice must flow.

You would have to make it a hero, and give it the same stats as a normal archer. Use Hero Level Triggers to stop experience growth, or upon creation auto level them to 'n' level without leveling animation.

I hope that helped.

so i would have to create a custom unit based off of a hero and give it the stats/model file of the desired non-hero unit? Bah, i was hoping there was some "is a hero" Boolean... pah. I guess that would be too easy, huh. I'll go get to work on that unit-balancing... u_u
