It was expected that there would be about 100 heroes to choose from, and now there are 22 names, which is already a big project, but there are sure to be more heroes as the story unfolds.
Since the initial plot needs to be spread out on a large scale, the appearance of heroes is relatively dense. There is a long list of possible heroes, but since the plot mainly continues the story of the previous heroes, unless there is another main line, there will not be a large number of new heroes.
These early heroes are basically the most important heroes in this period of history, but the selection is not based on the person's birth, status, or power, for example, Robinson, one of the leaders of the Kansas chapter, is an NPC, because he is more concerned with his own interests than fighting for the right cause (as a doctor, He was also active on the battlefields of Kansas in the early stages, and can be of great help to the player when played correctly, although as an NPC).
After the Revolutionary War, the role of the first is, of course, Nicholas Augustine, and the companions who appear around the story of this young general. The commander of our army, General Grant, will probably not appear as an optional hero, because such a role is headquarters. Of course, a character like General Grant will still appear as an NPC unit on the battlefield if needed.
In general, the criteria for determining the candidate is more focused on the hero's bravery, integrity, selflessness, and kindness, which is the origin of the name of the game.
