While Lords are concerned with leadership and devising devious strategies, the abilities of Heroes are not limited to direct confrontation in battle. Some buildings also increase the total amount of Heroes of a given type that are available to you. Heroes are recruited from the relevant building in a settlement, and are typically unlocked in buildings of level 3 and above. When the battle is joined, the appearance of a Hero in the thick of fighting can turn a hopeless fight in your favour and a single well-timed spell from a wizard can cut down dozens of enemies and send the rest running. While Heroes cannot lead armies, they rank amongst the mightiest warriors and spellcasters. In our previous blog on characters in Total War: WARHAMMER we went into great detail about Lords (see How Lords Work), but there is still plenty to say about Heroes. Please bear in mind that the below info is about a game that is a work in progress and subject to change - if you would rather not hear about features that might change, please look away now!
