Heroes
~The Future of Evony is Heros~
You lose 4 hero energy every time you march and you cannot march if it hits zero. Energy regenerates over time. Leadership is a huge attribute now if you hit a lvl 10 npc for farming with a hero that has low leadership and lose 76k archers don't be surprised, make sure that leadership is high before marching on targets.
Upon your hero reaching level 10 with your hero, you can begin to equip him/her with gear by viewing the hero in your Feasting Hall. Each gear adds an intelligence/politics/attack bonus attribute to your hero when equipped. You can choose which attribute you want the gear's bonus to apply to. Each hero may be equipped with up to 16 items of gear, offering a boost of up to 16 points to a specific attribute, or distributed among the 3 attributes as desired attack (attackers set), Intelligence (Wisemans set) or politics (politicians set).
HERO ARMOR SETS-ONE CLICK CHANGE:
Please note that for illustrative purposes that only information on hero's up to level 10 is included, they do go to level 15 though, I believe this is enough information to get players started.

Lost Armor Scripts
These scripts are required for each level of research in the Workshop from level 3 and beyond. 14 different items (rings and charms are duplicates) each require 8 scripts to complete research up to level 10 - 112 scripts in total, at 8 cents a piece (896 cents in total). Scripts do drop infrequently as treasures from NPC victories.
Research Materials
Materials required for research include wood, iron ore, thoroughbreds(Called Riding reins in Shop) and fabric. These can be purchased at the Shop, in boxes containing 2-4 items, for 2 game coins each. Each level of research requires a greater number of materials, up to 32 items for level 10. A total of 2,086 materials are required (approximately 4,172 cents in total, if all bought).
You can further upgrade the bonus of hero armor attributes by adding flawless and delicate gems to gear.
First thing you need to know about star levels is that you need to use delicate gems or flawless gems in each upgrade, done in workshop. There are a total of 15 star levels for each of the 14 different gear types. It is suggested by many that you focus on getting all your Hero Gear/Armor to level 10 or higher before you start with upgrading star levels at all. This table shows you what level your star level will be downgraded to if you fail to upgrade. Use 4 flawless gems for the higher levels of Gear to minimize the chance of failure.

You can upgrade hero gear star levels manually or you can choose automatically to the desired hero gear star level you want. You can only use gems of one type on each type of upgrade option. If you upgrade star levels automatically you get the option of starting to use flawless gems from level 1 right away. Automatic star level upgrades will use 4 gems for each level upgrade. If you go manual you can use delicate gems 4 delicates approximate 1 flawless gem.

A risk when purchasing historic hero details (possibly accepting task for quest fulfillment) is you run the risk of finding the Historic Hero in a friendly alliance member's city. You have a couple options, one drop out of your alliance to attempt getting the HH or letting the 10 Evony cents spent slide and looking for another HH elsewhere. You may run into several "blue city heros" before finding one you can successfully capture.
Once you find a HH that is not in a blue city you may have to teleport to another state to get close enough to capture them, this is very common.
A *tip instead of using an advanced teleport to get to the HH you would like to capture is to keep a city slot open, and build a city 1 mile or so from the NPC. Build time can be up to 20 hours, but over server maintenance, it insta-builds.
*this tip thanks to Woldere.
To take another players Historic Hero you must first posses the image of the hero (bought in level 5 Inn or above) and Sow discord upon them (stratagem).
