*delete unit*
*build Shrine of the Champion*
*resurrect with Sphener or a Life III Archmage*
Just kidding, but if people were looking for a "free promos" method and an "unretirement", there you go.

Back on the main point, I'm not much for the idea of letting early heroes upgrade beyond the boatload of XP they should hopefully have by the time their later game competitors come to the field... or beyond their purchase of things like fancy bows or armor or other stuff at "Master" buildings (or having them pick up every worthwhile piece of funky equipment your forces find in the field like in dungeons or from other civs... Orthus's Axe, Scorched Staff, heart amulet, other stuff). Heroes come along and have a role to play when they come along, Rantine for instance is supposed to convert the plentiful barb cities of the early game, or help with early rush strategies. Late game, he just probably looks like a well promoted champion, which you'll find hordes of in all civs. *shrugs*
The main civ with flexible heroes is the Grigori, mold "Carrow the Hunted" or "Panulplan" or whoever else pops for you, into your favourite line, and keep them jumping up the tiers all game long if you've got the gold. Just a couple of quick thoughts is all.
