Hero Choice - who would you pick?
Ok scenario is Random Large No under, all random hard difficulty. You get tower as main and rissa.
First day you recruit from tavern the following heroes:
-Fafner (basic res, basic scholar, naga spec)
-Monere (basic logistics, basic offense, phys elem spec)
-Wystan (basic armourer, basic archery, lizard spec)
-Jabarkas (basic offense, basic archery, orc spec)
-Inteus (basic wisdom, basic fire, bloodlust spec)
Who would you pick for your main hero?

Monere.
Logistics is a real bonus for new heros, to get full advantage. Then because of Offence.
I found that none of the specialties where worth it so I did not consider them.

I wouldnīt decide on day 1 though.
For the fact u fight with more than 1 hero, i will wait who getīs earth first...and perhaps tactics. Archery is always good for Tower.
So i guess it will be decided between Monere, Wystan, Jarbakas.

If forced to choose before seeing what other skills they might get, my first choice would be Jabarkas, for maximum offensive potential. Nagas and Offense,MGremlins, Magi and Archery, Barbarian Attack, not a bad combo by my standards.
Close second would be Monere, because the bigger the map, the more useful Logistics become.

hmm playing tower I would be looking between monera and wystan! And properly end with monera!
Logistick is hard to beat!
But for my taste armour suplements archery better than offense, thats why i prefere Wystan over jakarbas

Most likely, Monere...
Starting with Basic Logistics and Offense, I think Monere would be the best choice for early in the game.
Conflux is an easy build (though not as easy as Stronghold or Fortress), so you can develop a moderately strong army rather quickly. Also, the starting Conflux heroes usually will have lots of Pixies with several Water or Air Elementals sprinkled in there, so if you hire another Conflux hero on Day 1, you should have a nice starting force for Monere and his Basic Offense. The Air Elementals are nice and can close quickly on enemy shooters (2 turns), while you can also send a Sprite across quickly (2 turns as well) to take away enemy shooters volleys while you bring across your slower Water Elementals.

I would do as angelito and boogie suggested. Fight with Wystan, Jabarkas and Monere, and see which one gets another cool skill (earth magic, log, armourer archery, offense).
However, like nebuka said, I would lean towards Wystan as my choice.
Edit: Khayman, the choice is for a starting tower town. And besides conflux is kinda banned on most random map templates.

Oops...You are correct. My apologies for missing that important piece of info in the original post. All things being equal, then I would still choose Monere for his early Logistics ability.

With Jabarkas, I would think that the Master Gremlins would be enough to clean up most of the board, with his archery skill and high attack rating. Use golems or gargoyles to shield as needed.
The reason I would not prefer Wystan is because of the higher defense. If you're going to be a shooter, wouldn't you want a higher attack rating???
How much of an advantage is basic logistics? Is the extra movement that much of a bonus in the first week? Barbarians have a pretty high chance to get logistics, so I would value their attack value more than a starting secondary skill. Everyone is trying to get logistics as soon as possible. If Monere were offered basic archery or advanced logisitics, with Tower being the starting town, what would be the best choice?
Perhaps Monere would be a good secondary hero, taking the Nagas out for a stroll.
