You're going to need a bit more of an explanation than that.
As it is, I have no clue what you're asking.

Under GAE the current way to make heroes is to use a custom invisible resource.

Make a new static resource called "heroes" (or whatever you want) and set it to the maximum number or heroes you want.

Make each hero cost 1 resource point. Since the resources is static type (rather than tech or tileset) when a hero unit dies it can be built again.

If you want a more complex setup like having 3 heroes which can only be built one of each type you will need to set up a resource for each hero.

Wow, this question gets asked a lot.  Maybe it should be in the FAQ?

It isn't a problem... and if this can be done in GAE and MG, well...

Anyways, too bad people never read FAQ anyways.

I haven't seen a problem to be fixed mentioned anywhere in this thread. ::)  Besides, we still don't know if we've answered what the OP was actually asking.  Having a unit only one-at-a-time is but one of many aspects of Warcraft-style heroes (like gaining skills as they level up), and he/she could have been referring to any of them.
