So I added my heroes to the ai and played them as the empire. Upon first landing on Muunlinst Vader and Palpatine were slaughtered by Plo Koon. When I deployed to Dathomir Saesee Tiin died fairly easily but not before doing some damage and taking some of my units down with him. I've not yet gone to Yavin, Kamino or Mon Calamari where the other jedi masters are. Bespin was a game of Where's Lando but once I found him, he died fairly easily. Leia was the least fun to battle next to Plo Koon because she was with the other Hoth heroes. And then once Lando and the other Hoth heroes had respawned, they all regrouped on Naboo and once again killed Vader and Palpatine. So what has this experience taught me? The Empire need more ground heroes. I've decided to readd Mara Jade but give her Boba Fett's neutralize hero ability since that was part of her job at one point. I'm also going to look into reskinning Silri into a type of Lumiya. The model is hardly perfect for the character, but it will work. Hopefully these two heroes will help counter a bit. Because, while the Empire dominates in space, I've found it can be slaughtered on the ground.
