@LeHerosInconnu. I consider this a request for improvement rather than a bug. Iirc the original editor didn't supply such information either.

I'd thought of putting it as an "improvement", but as I'd put "bug" for the hero's default secondary skills display issue, I wanted to stay consistent. :) And I feel it's more of a bug than an improvement in the way it's presented in the fheroes2's scenario editor.
In the original game's scenario editor, the user takes the step of interacting with the interface to access the possibility of changing the hero's default troops.
In fheroes2's scenario editor, even if the user doesn't wish to modify the hero's troops, the interface that allows him to do so is displayed directly. How can he know what's going to happen? The user may be confused as there are no default troops displayed. "Will the hero have no troops in the scenario, if I don't add creatures in this screen?" "Which creatures will be present in the hero's army?" "How many?"
Even the number of the hero's experience points should be displayed in this screen. I'll open an issue for this later (https://github.com/ihhub/fheroes2/issues/9007).
I find having a title for each single slot rather ugly, redundant and clutterd.
Shouldn't just large single description title over each category suffice? Would look cleaner. Something similar to this.
Hello @Mr-Bajs and @zenseii,
I find having a title for each single slot rather ugly, redundant and clutterd.
Personally, I wouldn't mind simply deleting all the "Default value", "Default troop" and "Default skill" texts in this screen. :)
Yes. Just an dark shade would suffice. Same as castle and towns when using default values.
