Seems level 1 and level 2 heroes will spawn, but my heroes (all level 5 or above) wont.

I have even gone so far as to remove my own heroes and only try vanilla heroes and something interesting caught on to my observations. I am usually self sufficient enough to solve little glitches like this, but I have spent all week tweaking and derping around online to see what went wrong with this expansion. In this expansion, what seems to be happening is: I make a library, I fill it with hand crafted heroes of awesomeness, I put said heroes into maps, I cannot Call Hero, nor will any appear. In the base game what has always happened is: I make a library, I fill it with hand crafted heroes of awesomeness, I put said heroes into maps, I enjoy wreaking havoc when I play games. The trouble is that the expansion seems to be a bit buggy for me concerning player made heroes. I have played AoW II for years and heavily used the map editor as opposed to playing the campaign. I am having my first interactions with Shadow Magic for the first time this week now that I finally got it on Steam.
