Disable hero respawn

I think that would be more realistic if heroes don't respawn. And then you really need to protect hero in battle.

Then once they're gone, they're gone. Good on paper, like Communism. People would complain, though.

Then, once again, if you lose like Luke Skywalker, you're done for. It makes the game too lopsided.

Might be good for some additional difficulty levels. Canonicity is a major part of UEAW, and like good Flight Sim's the difficulty levels should be sometimes determined by how accurate the game is.

Perhaps make it so only the more minor heroes from the Movies and EU be unable to respawn after being lost.

Or possibly characters that die during the time period you chose to play in are unable to respawn if lost(examples: Vader, Palpatine, Piett, and Tarkin in Rebellion era; Grievous and Dooku in the Rise of the Empire era; Malak and Saul Kareth in Old Republic era)

Well then, what if we use a trick that Seven Hour War is using: Realistic Mode?

So if Thrawn dies during Galactic civil war he don't respawn, but during NR era he does because then he is more important character? So Main heroes can respawn but others (Daala,Pallaeon etc)

i think we should keep it because if somebody's doing poorly they can at least have the heroes to help them out. And who cares if respawning is canon? it's a game mechanic...

Though I hate the ai storming me with heros alot of the times, mainly the Empire, non-respawning heroes, not a good idea, same reasons as rouge squadron vs. Death star (The Rebellion needs to build a superweapon, seriously..) Even if they're minor, they still serve as important tide turners, without them, you lose an edge, the game made heroes to be a permanant edge, but if they all die..

I do believe the staff has decided on more realistic respawn rates, btw, so this may all be a mute point.
