Ok, after 5 days of work, I've finished first (polish) part of heroes.
I was quite dissapointed by "flat" vanilla heroes, they've had two or three simple texts and one (stupid) quest. They were only anonymous man, another warriors.
So, what is my idea of heroes? I would see them as true companions, camrades, not only fill-the-hole warriors. Each should have its own biography, characteristic and skills. Important part of it would be quests- at least one to each, but preferabelly more. And I don't speak about simple "give me leather vest" quests, but complicated missions, which require a lot of work from you. Such heroes would really precious, true camrades, and leading them to battle or tavern brawl could give more satisfaction than ordinary soldiers- you could know advantages and disadvantages each of them. Of course, they could be useful in other, more "diplomatic" missions. So, there are my propositions:
NOTE:each of them should have quest (some, like Mysliwiecki, even more than one), but as fable is not ready, it is a matter of time.

QUESTS:

[Ja]

It is "With Fire and Sword", so i think you should add some heroes from trilogy, for example Michał Wołodyjowski, Jan Skrzetuski, Zagłoba, and Longinus Podbipięta. Of course you make this list and it's your choice.

[Beleg]

Well, I thought about that. But in my opinion adding Wolodyjowski or other important heroes DIRECTLY to the party could injure the atmosphere. They've had their own histories and were present in other places, described in the book. It is hard to imaginate how for example Wolodyjowski could be present near count Wisniowiecki and, in the same time, traveling with hero to Moldavia. If they would be cut off from their own business (described in the book) they will soon change to another "typical"party heroes, not very much exciting.
But don't worry, heroes like Wolodyjowski and Podbipieta WILL BE in the game, but not as regular party members. You will meet them, they sometimes gave you some quests, maybe even join you in special tasks for a moment. Thanks to this,meeting them should be really exciting, they won't be "moped up".
ps. I made an exception to Muszalski- he is one of the heroes in "Pan Wolodyjowski".
Post your own comments and ideas.

[Ja]

Hmmm... you've got right, I don't think about this from this side...

[Alex]

Good work ! Good list but is there any better known heroes to add too ?

/

Napisze po polsku bo nie moge sie wyslowic Bohaterowie są git, myśle możemy ich już zatwierdzic. Tylko jedno ale, czy są jeszcze jacyś lepiej znani do dodania ? Oczywiście oprócz tych

[Beleg]

Well, I'm planning heroes for Cossacks and Tartars now. From books there is only Muszalski now, the rest was done by me (based on historic heraldry, names etc.) . I'm not planning more heroes from books right now, but maybe later? But it needs time (searching in the books), and I have exam for two weeks, so I'll be slow down.
First I need to post cossacks and Tartars.
Send your own heroes, the more ideas the better!

[Beleg]

Poslalem bohaterów dla Kozaków i Tatarów. Jak widzicie, wiekszosc bohaterów polskich ma teraz questy, nie zdazylem jednak wykoncypowac niczego dla dwóch z nich (Babillo i Muszalski) oraz dla bohaterów kozackich i tatarskich ( na razie tylko biografie).
Wbrew pozorom to dosc trudna robota, o czym najlepiej swiadczy fakt, ze obsuwa z bohaterami wynosila u mnie 4 tygodnie, a i tak nie sa jeszcze skonczeni. Piszcie czy podobaja sie wam questy i czy macie jakies pomysly na zadania dla tych, którym ich jeszcze brakuje.

[Manitas]

O, spoko,
Sprobuje wrzucic prototyp Mysliwca jako wieznia do zamku nad ktorym pracuje.
