These elite units are called your Retinue and can be selected before combat instead of normal troops for the army you are leading. Heroes are almost never alone having both an army and a few elite units to cover their weaknesses. If unfamiliar with the game I would strongly recommend you read the explainations included in the guide for hero game mechanics that you are interested in.įor Troubleshooting or Patches they are near the end of the guide. Keep in mind no hero can do everything so in order to get 100% completion in the campaign you will need at least 2 heroes or playthoughs.
This guide will cover the heroes race, spells and classes with only examples given to how you can use the builds in strategies. Heroes do not have to be the same race as they are commanding even in the campaign as others become unlocked while you play so the only restriction to your strategies based on how you make your hero.
Races are not balanced with some having large advantages over one another however with a good strategy almost any battle is winnable. The hero grows as you play the game collecting items and experience with almost no limitations on how powerful they can become. When playing the game you will need to manage your army, fight for control over resource sites and manage the most critical unit your hero. Warlords of Battlecry is a largely melee focused real time strategy game.
