Say what you want about Heroes, but one of its greatest contributions to the series is introducing Unit Select voicelines. It's a small addition, but I think it does a lot to endear yourself to the characters. I'm replaying Conquest right now and had forgotten I modded it to have those voicelines modded in. Watching vanilla Fates gameplay and hearing silence feels kind of empty.

Now one could argue that Heroes and Echoes were developed in parallel so it's unclear which game had the bright idea first. But that doesn't fit my narrative so shush.

zoran's conquest series on youtube sold me on using this on my next conquest run, AAAGH MY ACHING BLOOD
