NHF – new heroes for Heroes V 3.1.

I think the main problem is that mages already have enough mana. But if it were True Essence, players would be fighting over it, even without any enhancements...

I think heroes who are already strong by default shouldn't be buffed (or should be, but only slightly). These include heroes like Orac, Hafiz, and Wingael... They are already quite powerful.

He is also a strong hero. Keep in mind that he starts with a lot of golems, which is a great bonus in itself. If you are going to increase the number of golems further, it should be significantly less (say, (hero level * increase(9))/8).

The hero's turn in battle comes faster, depending on their level.
The hero's "Initiative" characteristic = (10 + 0.05 * level). (i.e., initiative increases by 0.5% per level).
There is no rounding ("initiative" in the game is the only "real" characteristic, but despite this, it is displayed rounded to the nearest whole number).

For example, at level 20, the hero's "Initiative" = 11.0; at level 30 = 11.5.

The Sorcery skill gives Orac an additional advantage over a "normal" hero in "initiative for the last turn".
(The bonus from Sorcery only applies if the hero casts a spell. With Expert Sorcery, for example, the hero is moved not to the end of the ATB scale after "casting", but to a position on the scale = 70%).
For example, with Expert Sorcery and level 20 for Orac, her "initiative per turn" will be = 11/0.7 = 15.7 ("physical meaning" - Orac will spend so much "time" before her next turn, during which a normal stack with an initiative of 15.7 will pass the ATB scale completely). A normal hero with Expert Sorcery has an "initiative per turn" = 10/0.7 = 14.2.
