Producing a Hero

In history, predicting the appearance of a hero was next to impossible. In Empire Earth, your
civilisation has the ability to produce a Hero at a Town Centre or Capital. Heroes are special
individuals and therefore rare.

Improvements and Upgrades

Just as a regular swordsman can be made better by outfitting him with a better sword, so a
Hero can benefit from better equipment. You can improve the Hit Points, Attack Strength,
and Speed of each hero just like any other unit.

Heroes are not just a collection of characteristics, they are also products of their times. It is
hard to image Julius Caesar without ancient Rome, or Rommel without tank warfare in
WWII. Most heroic figures became heroes by making the most out of their particular place in
history.

The Heroes you can produce in Empire Earth are also products of their times – that is, each
Epoch (starting with the Copper Age) has its own Heroes. When you advance to a new
Epoch, you can upgrade to new Heroes who are more appropriate to the era. Each successive
Warrior or Strategist Hero is better equipped to face the conflicts of his or her time. You
upgrade Heroes just like any other unit, in the building where they are produced – for Heroes,
this is the Town Centre or the Capital.
