To find multiple heroes or units an easier way:
1. Double-click the same Game.xml
2. CTRL+F in Internet Explorer and Find 'Unit#'and go through them all to see if they (e.g. Unit#431) match your faction (e.g. UnitProfileDrakkensHero1)
3. You can use this information (e.g. Unit#431) to find the Hero Stats much faster in the Game.xml in NotePad++
4. For example, CTRL+F in Notepad++ and Find 'Unit#431', click the horizontal scrollbar per page to eventually find 'Level', 'Experience', etc.
5. Change 'Level' number somewhere below 127 (high levels have high upkeep)
6. Change 'Experience' number to 99999
7. Change 'AccumulatedExperience' number to 99999
8. Change 'MaximumSkillPoints' and 'SkillPointsSpent' numbers to 50
9. Save Notepad++, close out, drag Game.xml from Save Files Folder into ZIP Archive Endless Folder to replace old Game.xml
10. Launch game (e.g. Drakken Turn 2) to see effects (may need to end turn)
Note: Your faction data can be found furthest to the left in Notepad++
