I personally like to have strong heroes who are ladies, and more the better. Something I like, is historical heroes, we need more of these, but they have to be limited and only used once so the players don't end up with too many of the same exact hero. The use of the images of some specific heroes like Harold Godwinson for the first hero for new players was a good idea.
My only real issue with heroes and it's getting really annoying, it's when we get heroes from kingdom events, decoration of throne rooms, extra city points and so on, we always get the same freaking hero, the old man sitting on his chair, he even get feminine names from times to times. On aquitaine, for 11 heroes that have different images, I have 36 old man sitting on his chair, it would have been worse if I didn't purchased the pirate heroes and some others when they were available at level 24 for diamonds.
So can we please retire the old man and give the other heroes the chance to show up other than in the tavern for level 3 or lower?
For the other suggestions on the thread, a way to trade with other players would not be a bad thing, but it would have to be limited, I think it could be done via the gift shop, for a small price (both options would be available, paying with gold, or with diamonds) I can give one of my own heroes to another player, for a small extra, they would keep their status (cond free), such a trade could be done only once in a specific amount of time. Same could be done with artifacts.
For the translator, google is doing great, I don't thing the devs need to spend their time on something like this.
For the servers having one huge map, like aquitaine (a server castleguy12 is currently playing), something needs to be done with travel times, it takes way too long and it's worse if you start far away from the adventure huts. 17+ hours sending your troops to the nearest adventure hut that match your level is just wrong.
Some other suggestions, please make the bio (About Me) section relevant once again. It's so well hidden that it's not used anymore and the majority of players doesn't even know it exists.
Please, PLEASE, remove entirely the artifacts notifications in the chat windows, it's useless and only kills the chat more than anything else. Some regional chats are so polluted with these artifacts spams that they are uninviting and unfriendly.
Can we change the search in temp adventure huts. Coming inside with 7-8 hours search isn't fun, it should stay once every 24 hours for the same player, but a different time frame for other players so more would be able to search. A good example was the Gisors castles.
