Some Heroes can learn skills that make these assassination attempts more likely to succeed however. The higher the level of the opposing Hero, the less likely you are to assassinate him.
This is not without risk to the attacker however, and the assassination attempt may go horribly wrong, with your own Hero being wounded or even slain in the attempt. Heroes cannot directly be attacked by Lords and their armies as they’re agile enough to evade a direct confrontation, but other Heroes can track them down and make an attempt to assassinate them. Another valuable ability of some Heroes is their ability to help quell the harmful taint of Chaos or the malicious influence of Vampires, while Chaos and Vampire Heroes typically act as a vanguard of their armies to spread their influence far and wide.
Certain Heroes may be able to inspire the populace (while getting rid of potential troublemakers), making them more obedient to your rule and nipping an uprising in the bud. Like Agents in previous Total War titles, Heroes can roam the world on their own and are able to use their influence to the benefit of your provinces – or the detriment of others. While Lords are concerned with leadership and devising devious strategies, the abilities of Heroes are not limited to direct confrontation in battle. Some buildings also increase the total amount of Heroes of a given type that are available to you. Heroes are recruited from the relevant building in a settlement, and are typically unlocked in buildings of level 3 and above. When the battle is joined, the appearance of a Hero in the thick of fighting can turn a hopeless fight in your favour and a single well-timed spell from a wizard can cut down dozens of enemies and send the rest running. While Heroes cannot lead armies, they rank amongst the mightiest warriors and spellcasters. Previously, we have gone into great detail how Lords work in Total War: WARHAMMER, but there is still plenty to say about Heroes.
