I liked that before the first patch of that pack, AI was less likely to chose to claim heroes at all, allowing for even medieval or rennaisance to be without all heroes being claimed.
But now seems that the AI attempts to claim a hero as soon as it gets the choice, resulting in all the heroes being taken before medieval on big maps with lots of civs.
Since it's more fun for the player to have the heroes (specially when playing with friends), the AI sucks with them/ don't use the abilities, and you can't "steal" the hero by taking the city it was spawned on, I think it's a good idea for a mod to 'discourage' the AI to rush heroes, with the goal that they aren't taken all that early but perhaps rennaisance or later.
There's a mod to allow only humans to claim hero but it feels too cheaty as it completely bars the AI from claiming heroes at all.
Ideally there would be a mod that gives you the right to the hero if you capture/raze the corresponding city where it spawned but I bet that's impossible.
I'm not of the coding type so maybe there's someone that likes the idea here.
