The idea that the main hero can only be a hero of the chosen faction is difficult to implement:
Now I wouldn't play HotA and try to force its changes into SoD, what a fool.
And the reduction of Necromancer power was also implemented in TE and WotG (only in a more radical way).
If the vast majority of players express their support, making the changes is not a problem: the values of the Necromancy percentage and the numbers in the text description of the Necromancer in the hero window are changed.
