Poll Question:
Surrender specialty in HotA
HotA recently introduced a new hero specialty, surrendering.
A hero from Factory and one from Bulwark comes with it.
This is a specialty that takes effect, when you expect to lose a battle and wants to surrender.
Note also that this specialty is completely useless to AI, since it can't surrender.
What do you think of this specialty?

I don't understand it. The only use case I can really see is the occasional poor man's town portal, but you are losing a speciality for that.
I'd rather it was something like "You can still cast a spell a flee" or "You may surrender before the battle starts".
I guess on a really tight close quarter's map where you don't see other heroes coming it might be good on a scout with a large army? If Homm III had fog of war it would also maybe make sense, but visibility is rarely an issue and even if surrender is cheap, if you have an army that needs to constantly surrender the game probably isn't going your way anyway.

Do scouts have large armies though?
I usually just give them 7 level 1 units and then possibly they can get more from free level 1 dwellings, but they never have large armies.
It's just weird to me, to specialize in losing battles.
If you need this specialty something has gone wrong...
