Stronghold - Heroes and specializations | Necropolis - Buildings Heroes VII Guide
Last update: 25 April 2017
If you select Stronghold during a skirmish with AI or a multiplayer game, you will start the game with one of eleven heroes. A correct choice might help you at the beginning of the game or later. Most of the specializations of Stronghold heroes focus on recruiting additional units, Warcries or Air Magic. If you wonder which hero to pick, think about Yog who has the Cyclops Befriender skill. It's a good choice for the later phase of the game, when you will have Cyclops. What's important, it's not a Governor skill and you will be able to use the hero in regular way. Other useful heroes are Kente and Amari.
