13 Heroes (a customization of Unlock 48 campaign heroes with Unique heroes models)
Here is a little mod I can't really take credit for since I only edited a few mods together, namely Unique Heroes Models and Unlock 48 Campaign Heroes. I thought I'd share it with the community nevertheless.
All credit and kudos for textures and original files should go to their respective authors (mainly sfidanza and all the numerous modders who have contributed to these projects). I hope I won't offend anyone by posting this so my modifications could be available for other players. If any modder is offended I will of course remove the link.
I sincerely hope you'll like my little modifications and once again I don't take credit for any of the original mods. I uploaded it for players who might not have the time or the basic modding knowledge to do this themselves and might enjoy the changes I introduced.
So without further ado...
This mod aims at balancing campaign heroes so that the same number of heroes can be found for every faction without most of them being too powerful either.
To do this I had to remove some heroes mainly from the Haven faction.
-extra spells were deleted (like Hangvul's Blindness, although I didn't include Hangvul in my modification).
-extra mastery levels were deleted (like in the case of Nicolai and Alaric the latter started with Expert Attack).
-extra points were deleted (as in the case of Orlando's (Inferno) Attack although he was not included as such).
I tried to be consistent so I didn't create new portraits but I used some that were unused and others from the Dark Messiah map. I also used certain portraits for other factions and edited biographies when needed.
Here is a non exhaustive list of modifications:
-Guarg, Souldrinker (was Mindreaver)
-Markal, Soulhunter (was Death Lord, I also added Raise Dead to his spellbook)
-Giovanni, Reanimator (was Soulhunter)
-Duncan is now a Ranger (Imbue Arrow works with his normal attack)
-Nathir uses the old Zehir's portrait
-Kujin, Battle Hardened (was Demon Hunter)
-Ornella (Necro) renamed Natalya to avoid confusion with the Haven Ornella
I also added a few new heroes:
-->Igor, Intimidate (Necromancer, undead Nicolai renamed to avoid confusion) starts with Attack and Tactics
-->Caern, Stormcaller (Ranger,old Tieru portrait)
-->Galtan, Stormcaller (Wizard, hidden portrait)
-->Jafir, Windrider (Wizard, Orlando's Haven portrait) starts with Leadership
-->Phenrig, Flame Wielder (Runemage, Nathir's portrait)
-->Goragh, Spellbreaker (Barbarian, Dark Messiah's portrait)
I also put in the mods most of the unique heroes models that altered original models to make them look more like their portraits. I only used heroes models and not modified creatures. I also fixed the Demon Sovereign's animations but I used regular models for the Adventure map.
Last but not least, here is the download link.

Feel free to edit any of these files and upload your modifications in this thread. I won't have the time to answer requests but you can have a look at this thread VokialBG explains it all (I learned all I needed to know to edit heroes by reading VokialBG's explanations, the way internal names work it was a bit messy at times, however the text files should point you in the right direction).
Once again, I'm not taking credit for the original mods.
I hope you'll enjoy these little modifications I made as much as I do.

Yes, that's the one.
I only used portraits from the game itself. Let me know what you think.

I can't do that, just too many of them...
Here is the portrait from the Dark Messiah map:
The original Zehir:
And Tieru:
The others are regular heroes and campaign heroes and they are all available in the manual.

I used the Souldrinker icon.
Custom bio to account for Diplomacy.
