In order to hire a Hero you need to:#
- study the Heroes Managing science,
- construct the Tavern building,
- and be of Suzerain rank.
- notice that Heroes cannot be hired if the Capital is being under attack.
If a Player having Hero loses the Suzerain rank, the Hero will not obey the player until the player obtains the Suzerain rank again. In such case the Hero behaves as Stunned.
Click a Hero’s image in order to see the Hero’s parameters, artefacts, scroll, spell and skills.
Each Hero has:#
- a random name from the list (which can be changed after Hero is hired),
- class,
- speciality,
- some Mana,
- some experience,
- level.
Mana is used to cast spells.#
It has a property of regeneration or it can be replenished with bottles of Mana.Mana is not regenerating if hero is stunned, in the Sanctuary or in mission.
Level depends on Experience and can be increased.#
Level is restricted by the “Hero Managing”science.(See the table).
Experience has a maximum limit. When the limit is reached, Experience will not increase anymore.#
Experience a Hero gains depends on the cost of enemy units killed (calculation is performed after the Resurrection round).1 Experience point that goes to Attacker in case he wins equals to 5000 Gold of killed enemy units cost according to the market average rate for Mining servers, and 2000 Gold – for Military servers.
In case a Defender wins battle, each 20,000 Gold of killed enemy units cost will give 1 Experience point for the Defender; if loses – each 5,000,000 Gold. If Attacker loses, 1 Experience point will equal to 200,000 Gold of killed enemy units cost.
Killed Monsters give 250 times less Experience than troops of players on Mining servers, and 1000 times less Experience on Military servers.
In battle against Monsters, the Experience points, gained depending on the role of player in battle (described above), is multiplied by the Monsters coefficient. This coefficient is used for points calculation in battle against Monsters regardless of Monsters role in the battle.
If several players fight on one side, the Experience will be distributed proportionally among the players according to the cost of their troops for the moment of the battle start.
If a player does not use Hero in battle, the player’s portion of experience simply disappears.
Each Hero belongs to one of the three classes.
The Hero class is determined by the three basic skills (displayed in the upper part of the Hero Skills window) and the Specialties.
There are five branches of Skills (Specialties) in each class. One branch is determined by the Hero primary Speciality, and two more branches for studying can be chosen by a player.
Each branch contains 6 Skills.
Some Skills are passive and some – give spells.

There are two types of Hero Skills.
Active Skills that create spells in the Book of Spells.
And Passive Skills that are permanently active and inseparable from the Hero.
Passive Skills effects are described in the table.
If a Hero leaves domain, the Hero Passive Skill stops working.
Own Hero or domain where the Hero locates can be under effect of a Passive Skill.
If a Hero is Stunned, the Hero Passive Skill will not be working.
