Description (last modified by Langbart)

As of [12148] (19/Jul/12), heroes have an always visible marker to make them easier to see on the battlefield.

But this marker is not enough. In the picture below is the heroine Cleopatra, but because of the yellow color and the light background she could be mistaken for a normal archer unit. The little star marker is almost invisible.

The hero Vercingetorix from the Gauls provides +20% melee and ranged damage for up to 60m, if you don`t see this hero your troops will be easily defeated even if both armies have the same head count. Therefore, this is an important visualization that is currently missing.

Below are some visuals how it could be done better:
