Heroes also get the abilities and stat modifiers of their Race and Class (ex: Warlords get +2 from Armored and +2 Melee Damage). The Resurrect Hero spell can bring a hero back to life.Įvery Hero has 50, 36, 9, 9, Melee Strike ( 12 10 10 10 10 10 ), Hero, Cavalry, Walking, Mounted, Charge, Cast Spell and Fast Healing by default.

When heroes are killed in combat, they drop any equipment they have onto the ground. In the case of multiple heroes, the one with the most leadership abilities is assigned as the army leader. If the hero is leading the army, they will occupy the first position in the list of units in the army. Some of the abilities that heroes can have affect all units in the army when they are leading the army.

However, since higher tiers of spells and casting points are added to their upgrades list every odd level, heroes can unlock advanced combat spells (through experience) much earlier than leaders typically will (through research).įor lists of abilities and when they are available, see each classes page. This limits their raw power since spending leveling points on casting takes the place of direct upgrades. Instead of using empire research to access their class abilities and to increase their casting points, heroes have these as options on their list of per-level upgrades ( experience requirements for each level). Heroes level up and use equipment as your leader does. Each player can cast only one spell per combat round no matter how many heroes they have. Unlike leaders they cannot retreat to the void to escape death, they must be present at a battle to cast spells, and they can only cast combat spells. Heroes function much like Leaders and can become similarly powerful. Your Leader is not alone in the quest to expand your empire, as you will also be approached every now and then by other people of skill and power.
