6370	Improved Hero marker	Langbart		"As of [12148] (19/Jul/12), heroes have an always visible marker to make them easier to see on the battlefield.

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:
