The simplest way to do this is to set up a summon spell that you can only cast once (give it <Cooldown>-1</Cooldown>). Use this modifier

            <GameModifier>
                    <ModType>Unit</ModType>
                    <Attribute>UnitJoinArmy</Attribute>
                    <StrVal>Champion_Pralius</StrVal>
                    <Value>5</Value>
                    <Unitclass>Champion</Unitclass>
            </GameModifier>

Hi Heavenfall, I was interested in doing this as well but may need a modding for dummies as I couldn't get this to work. I am trying to get my champion to be able to summon a particular level 1 hero on his first turn. Would I use the code above? Do I add that code to the "unit" file for my sovereign? Where do I put the "cooldown" in the code above? Thanks for any help!

Could you do this with a one-use potion or a book that the sovereign starts with by using the code:

<AutoCreateEquipment>Champion_Potion</AutoCreateEquipment>

Or something like that? Quite frankly, I'm going to experiment with this right now.

EDIT: Testing this...

Code: xml
</p><GameItemTypes>
 <DataChecksum NoParse="1">
 <Ignore>DispName</Ignore>
 <Translate>DisplayName,Description</Translate>
 </DataChecksum>
<GameItemType InternalName="Scroll_Champion">
 <DisplayName>Champion Scroll</DisplayName>
 <Description>This token will summon a companion.</Description>
 <ShopValue>200</ShopValue>
 <GameModifier>
 <ModType>Unit</ModType>
 <Attribute>UnitJoinArmy</Attribute>
 <StrVal>Champion_Adant</StrVal>
 <Provides>Summons a champion</Provides>
 <Value>5</Value>
 <Unitclass>Champion</Unitclass>
 </GameModifier>
 <IsAvailableForSovereignCustomization>0</IsAvailableForSovereignCustomization>
 <Likelihood>200</Likelihood>
 <RarityDisplay>Rare</RarityDisplay>
 <HeroOnly>1</HeroOnly>
 <IsAvailableForUnitDesign>0</IsAvailableForUnitDesign>
 <IsUsable>1</IsUsable>
 <ArtDef>Scroll_AirWalker_ArtDef</ArtDef>
 <GameItemTypeArtDef InternalName="Scroll_AirWalker_ArtDef">
 <GameItemTypeModelPack InternalName="Scroll_AirWalker_Default">
 <IconFile>Item_BlizzardScroll_Icon.png</IconFile>
 <TintR>212</TintR>
 <TintG>32</TintG>
 <TintB>200</TintB>
 <SFX>Equip_MagicRing_01</SFX>
 <GameItemTypeModel>
 </GameItemTypeModel>
 </GameItemTypeModelPack>
 </GameItemTypeArtDef>
 </GameItemType>
</GameItemTypes>

EDIT: Ok, so I added the item and it shows up when I select my sovereign after the main menu but when I get in-game the item is not in my inventory. I've tried adding it via using both <AutoCreateEquipment> and <Equipment> codes.

Frankly, I've been trying to get something like this to work for ages with nothing to show for it. Appears to be much easier said than done.
