See reply #2, reply #3, reply #5, and reply #2208.
Is there a reason that the first hero you hire from out in the field always disappears?
Edit: Ah I see now. Champion Camps. So what is the point of bringing these back if you cannot use them to hire champions?

a. Champions recruited through Champion Camps on the Strategic Map must NOT be in the Camp when you recruit them (They must be on the Tile adjacent to the Camp).
a.1. What?
Champion Camps are a Fallen Enchantress relic that I've reactivated in Legendary Heroes (with considerable effort I might add). Because they are not normally available in Legendary Heroes, they are not supported by Stardock.
a.2. So?
Basically, if a Champion is found inside a Champion Camp (Specifically, on the Camp Tile), it will suffer from the dreaded Tamed Beast Bug. Meaning the Champion will disappear if stationed in Cities. Meaning you will be unable to cast that specific Champion Spells even if they are in your Spellbook. Meaning the Champion won't appear as an Army on the (left) side screen. Meaning if the Champion dies, it's forever (He/She won't go to the nearest City). Meaning you may as well not recruit said Champion, unless you want to Steal his/her Spirit and/or sell his/her Equipment.
a.3. What is the Tamed Beast Bug?
It's a bug that was introduced by LH 1.5 (Specifically, it was introduced by the Wildland Fix). At the time, any Tamed Lair Guardian (Not necessarily Beasts, although they constituted the brunt of Tamed Creatures) would disappear if left in a City. While the issue was subsequently corrected by LH 1.6, it doesn't look like it will ever be fixed for Champion Camps.
a.4. Why don't you fix it?
I can't fix the issue directly, only Stardock can. However, using WanderingRadius = 1 instead of 0 fixes the issue from an .xml point of view for most Camps. Just remember: to avoid the issue, recruited Champions MUST be outside of their Camp when you recruit them.
14. I just recruited a new Champion. He/She is supposed to be able to cast Spell A, Spell B, and/or Spell C, but he/she can't:
a. If you recruited the Champion from a Champion Camp, see issue #13.
15. I just recruited a new Champion. He/She doesn't appear in my Champion List on the left side of the screen:
16. I just recruited a new Champion. He/She doesn't respawn in my cities when killed:
Right so what is the point of bringing back champion camps if you cannot use them to hire champions that won't disappear?
Highlighted some passages of reply #1027 in yellow. Let me know if you still don't see the point.
I would see the point if I ever saw them outside of their camps
Cognitive bias. Theoretically, a Champion will spawn in Camp 11% of the time (The Camp represents 1 out of 9 possible spawn spots). Practically, that percentage is higher because not all 8 tiles surrounding the Camp are suitable for spawning. Notwithstanding, even if it is 1 out of 5 (20%), it would still be nowhere near always, as you are implying.Fear not, your incapacity to overcome a cognitive bias isn't really relevant as you can remove Champion Camps from your installation quite easily, it's a matter of deleting two files.

Haha no I will take your word for it and keep looking

Leave them in, please. They are a useful quick reference.
I also vote leave them in.
You can never go wrong when you have a "ludicrous speed" !
Ludicrous speed is great and all, until you pass up your quarry by a week.
