I really feel like people suggesting names other than AoE2 heroes are (sorta) missing the potential appeal, especially those suggesting past players or community members.
HC2 was one of the biggest events in terms of getting new eyes on the game. People new to the scene are going to recognise names from the campaigns and probably have attachment to them, or at least it will draw some interest. Past players or community member names might be great fun for us, but we are (hopefully!) only a small portion of the overall potential viewership.
Also, a suggestion to T90: those short player profiles you had for HC2 were incredible, especially as someone who was then relatively new to the scene. I'd love to see more of those! They will really help all the newcomers feel part of the community.
