The dice that are included with the flagbearers, one of the blank sides is populated with a symbol of the particular general. If that symbol is rolled, the figure powers are altered.

Statistically, it would be like adding another symbol in place of one of the blanks and displaying it when it is rolled 1/6. Each general (at that time) has their own flagbearer, so there are 5 different dice. You could just use the generic Valkyrie symbol and it would work.

I'll see what I can come up with. Can you link me to dice artwork for the different flag bearer classes?

Just use the generic Heroscape symbol, it will make programming easier

I am looking for the individual symbols I ran accros it when I was making the app in the beginning & it is what I used for my dice..I just can't seem to locate it now...I want to take all the flag bearer hex symbols and incorporate them onto one dice face inside of a bigger hex...

*Found Them*

Those 3D dice look amazing...I will be sticking to the 2D though, much easier for my noob app haha...

I just downloaded and tried out Heroscape Helper.
Its a pretty good dice program for Heroscape. Since this program shows rolled blanks, its pretty much Flagbearer compatable already. Sure you could add a logo on the blank face if you wanted, but it is already usuable for flagbearers which is nice.
The option to mute the sounds would be a nice feature. At least the sound for adding or subtracting dice. I wish the amount of dice to roll didn't have to reset to zero after each roll, it makes multiple attacks in a row from squads a bit more tedious.
I agree with the notion that throwing the heroscape dice around is half the fun of Heroscape. Yet I do this believe this program can be very useful. If you are doing any testing with solo play I would rather use this program than real dice. If you have a limited dice rolling area, or trying not to be loud playing late at night or something, this is a really good program for that.
Despite doubts earlier in the thread, this is just as random as real dice and am very impressed with the interface.
Thank you for a very cool program!

Thank you for these suggestions & I am glad you guys like my little dabble into app developement. I will look into adding a mute sound option. Also, I have been working on making the logo's for the blank dice cycle through the flag bearer symbols when touched. I have been busy with wedding preparations (getting married this Friday) so I have not had time to finalize the app logic for that action yet. I won't be able to continue my dabbling with HeroScape Helper for at least another 2 weeks (Honeymoon @ Disney World...woot!). As soon as I return I plan on continuing with these updates immediately.
