x) Pick up volunteers - unreliable
x) Tell stories - unreliable
3) Can loot
Well this is allowed on pretty much all classes that can lead a unit except cavalier. It isn't that big of a deal since you can only loot so often. Also, there are many people who do not even choose a sub-class who can loot. This isn't a big advantage over cavalier.
4) Can escape from prison
This is nice since you get the option all the time.
5) Recruitment limit increase (minor)
This is the part I do not understand. Why, heroes who risk their lives being in the front line can't recruit as many men as cavaliers? Maybe heroes being able to recruit more than cavaliers would have made more sense with cavaliers only being able to match heroes in cavalry and SF while sharing the same infantry and archer limit as a normal warrior.
