The new ruler types introduced in the DLC are fantastic this suggestion is for more varied hero types based on them. What so you think?

I mean what would they do?

They would act like other heros with different appearances, skills and abilities.

As minor versions of the ruler types you mean? I'd like it but I think we have to consider past DLCs as done. I somehow doubt we will see much, if anything, that directly interacts with the content of past DLCs.
Not that I haven't been guilty of doing something similar myself (asking for a river subculture for Primal) but still..

Oh I mistook it as ruler type apologies. I think it would run into the thing of you would have to axe a pretty decent chunk of sovereign and giant skills as they are empire wide, and it would make them need to roll back the equipment drop changes to allow their equipment to drop again.

Or you could just take some appropriate skills from the rulers and have them or weaker versions available to the hero. Great idea about the rulers items dropping though.
