Heroes

There are 4 hero types that the player can choose between in Norron. Heroes give you access to skills that you can upgrade with skill points. Skill points can either be found by your hero when exploring, taken as a daily bonus, or earned by leveling your hero. Heroes can also wear equipment that you find throughout the age to provide further bonuses.

Attributes

All heroes have four attributes. The first three: strength, vitality, and knowledge, are common to all four classes. The fourth attribute is class specific.

Strength: Increases your hero's offensive power.

Vitality: Increases your hero's defensive power.

Knowledge: Allows your hero to earn some research points (see formulae). Added in Age 5

Wisdom: (Archmagi only) Increases the effectiveness of self spells that are cast in your city (0.38% per point [up from 0.35% in age 8]).

Economics: (Merchants only) Increases your city's silver production (see formulae).

Wielding: (Paladins only) Slightly increases your entire army's offensive and defensive power (0.13% per point).

Thievery: (Thieves only) Increases the amount of resources that your city's spies and hero steal on successful thievery missions (1% per point).
