Hey Gr4ntsch, thank you for reaching out. I'm fairly certain this is correct as certain mods have a higher cost when applied to a Hero/Commander but I'll run it past the Units & Abilities guy for a check.

 

[Gr4nt1tsch]

Hey Jordi, thanks for your reply. All good then -- but is this documented somewhere? In the in-game Wiki for example? That would be quite useful.

Many thanks for compiling that list, Dread. It's a lot worse/all over the place than I thought. Jordi, can you confirm that this is not intended and will be fixed in a future patch?

The only ones that Jump out at me as most likely wrong are Tier 2 mods that cost like Tier 4 and Tier 3 mods that cost like Tier 2. There is a case made for this to be looked at and I already added Dreads list to it when he posted it.

Thank you, Jordi. FWIW I'm not sure personally if changing the costs around for heroes makes much sense. If it is intentional, then it should be documented somewhere. And maybe this could be an opportunity to reconsider if the costs have to be changed for heroes at all and clean up the whole system.

In any case, many thanks for your help.
