The ability to lead – not just to command, but to motivate – is a Hero’s greatest weapon.
Troops under the leadership of a Hero are able to fight beyond their normal limits of
endurance, so they last longer in combat than they would otherwise. Thus, an army with a
Hero leading them into battle holds an advantage over an identical army without a Hero.

In Empire Earth, Warrior Heroes and Strategist Heroes lead in different ways. Warrior Heroes
are strong and brave, often leading their troops by example. Their style of leadership pro-
duces high morale in the area immediately surrounding them, so they are most effective on
the front lines. Morale gives troops more stamina, so they are harder for enemies to kill.

Strategist Heroes can inspire their troops from a greater distance, and do best when avoiding
personal combat. Their style of leadership promotes self-confidence. In effect, these Heroes
restore the vitality of their troops, thus giving them more staying power in a battle. They can
also demoralise an enemy with their Battle Cry. Upon hearing a heroic Battle Cry, disheart-
ened enemies lose their will to fight and are therefore easier to kill.

Hospitals can restore full health.
