Actually, that's why I came back... I made a mistake – you can also add creatures to the garrison.
AddObjectCreatures(name, creatureID, quantity).
Just to clarify, the names of the hero and the garrison are script-based, i.e., not direct. For the hero, you can find it in the object's properties, in the settings tab. For the garrison, it's in the object's properties tree, in the name field.
