the first step is to create the hero army data.
this is done in defaultarmies.ini
add the following code to defaultarmy.ini



SpawnArmy
ScriptingName = HeroArmy11
SpawnForTemplates = PlayerElves
HeroTemplateName = ElvenArwen_1
PlayerArmy = ArwenPlayerArmy
Icon = HeroArwenIcon
Banner = BannerElves
End


note the scriptname should actually be +1 the current highest scripted army name for the faction your hero is for

if you are doing a completely custom hero army you will also need to have the hero army icon for use. otherwise your new hero army will be completely invisible

Good tutorial, even if I already know everything (except the "LeaveInSummary", I looked for its effect for weeks, thank you a lot!), it is very useful.

You did good work, and it's good that you explain why you need to put some things in. However, the markup and spelling of this article needs some work, so I gave you a 3 (OK).

Work on those things and it will get at least 4 ;)

I can't believe I missed the "LeaveInArmySummary = Yes". I'll try this out and if it works I'll definitely give you a 5 for helping me get rid of one of my nasty bugs.

Also, some tags will help the article out.

Good tutorial, easy to understand, but, you should probably add code tags. Well done!
