Epic War Age (EWA) - Adapted Mod Collection

5.5 is a fantastic mod, and it doesn't need new characters. There are already so many heroes that you can't possibly play as them all in one lifetime!)

I agree with you, but this person wants their own thing. Ultimately, it's their right.
Besides, 5.5 has a very active community and developers (may they continue to support the project as long as people are playing it).
Personally, I don't like the NHF mod at all. To be more precise: the technical ingenuity is worthy of respect, and I have great respect for the authors, but as a player, I don't like such an abundance.
There are too many heroes, and you don't have time to get used to them or play them properly.
