Alright! Now let’s take a closer look at how exactly do Heroes impact the multiplayer fun in Ancestors Legacy.
Heroes are squads containing of a single pawn, which doesn’t have a morale bar, and so, doesn’t suffer from morale loss. On the other hand, Heroes have special aura indicated by big blue circle around them, which, once players' food drop to zero, prevents other squads morale loss from hunger. Heroes cannot be replenished or re-recruited when they die.

Every nation has its unique Hero with unique skills and statistics:
