Hero Classes Endless Space 2
Heroes all have an 'origin' faction but can be used by any of the eight playable major factions of the game. They all have a specific class, a political party they support and special skills they can unlock. All heroes in Endless Space 2 will have 'Academy' spaceships.
- Heroes are where the major factions of Endless Space 2 really open up and get truly distinct in their interaction. This mod will bring them to you without delay! With it, you'll have access to all of your major faction's heroes from the start of the game, allowing you to push your faction's goals.

The Academy is an anomaly on a shattered/broken/uncolonizable planet somewhere in some random system every game. Once you discover that you'll start accruing points toward getting another hero. The 'Academy' building is really like an Academy embassy; it let's you start accruing points even if you haven't discovered the location of the actual Academy. It's not wasted production if you built it but also discovered the physical location soon after, as the building speeds up how quickly you get more heroes (I think it's like 20% faster.or a 20% discount). I have same problem as OP, and maybe more.
I can't buy heroes from Marketplace, because I don't see a list of them. I'm into turn 70-ish with all but 1 (chameleon Spaces) in Tier3 Economy and Trade Technologies researched. Specifically, I have Impactless Sites researched, the one that should have 'open access to Mercenaries & Heroes'.I said 'maybe more' because I don't see a list of heroes even when I click on the Heroes heading in Marketplace. In fact, I don't see the list of buyable things change in Marketplace when I click on the other headings (Luxuries & Ships).
The headings are lighted (not greyed out) and when I click on them I can hear the UI click sound. But no matter which heading I click on. I only see a list of the Strategics. So all I can buy are Strategics & yes, I bought some Adamantian sucessfully just to be sure it works.
Lastly, where there should be a graph, I only see 'no data available'. It's been like that since Turn 1To be fair, this is only my 2nd playthrough, so I'm guessing I'm just being a noob. Probably I need to research something or turn something on somewhere to make the Marketplace work like it used to in my 1st playthru. I can sell stuff afterall. So why can't I buy heroes like I bought Adamantians?
Heroes Endless Space 2 Gameplay
When you get offered a new Hero, I think that you get offered a choice between several (3 I think normally) Heros with somewhat different backgrounds, inmtial skills, reilgious and/or political affliations, as well as possibly belonging to other Races besides your own. Later in the game, the starting levels may also be higher than 1 as well, so you will have some skill points to allocate as well.You will have to decide which one of them to choose. You can also use these Heros as governors of Star Systems where you have at least one colony (multiple colonies can probably make use of their skills more often or better).

Your 2nd choice is to assign them to a ship/fleet to either boost it's exploration abilities or it's military abilities, or other abilities (maybe).
