Everything you describe can be done with mods. You can also do a lot of what you describe in the scenario editor without mods but with some restrictions; you can use triggers to rename units and change their stats, but you can't reskin units and I don't think you can give special abilities to units either. I remember playing a similar scenario a long time ago which used Odysseus instead of the actual Heracles unit because the Heracles unit is useless against Stymphalian Birds as he doesn't have a ranged attack.

Just like Ajax, you would need to create a copy of the Heracles unit specifically for your campaign and give him the ability to revive when fallen, a ranged attack and a slam special attack.
