# Heroes

Heroes are seasoned generals with extensive battlefield experience, granting them extraordinary mastery of warfare. This allows them to command vast armies with unwavering confidence, their swords never trembling.

As NFTs, heroes determine the size of your army. Their rarity influences their starting base size, with higher rarity offering greater initial size.

<table><thead><tr><th width="283">Rarity</th><th>Size Troops Lvl 0</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>None</td><td>10</td></tr><tr><td>Common</td><td>10</td></tr><tr><td>Uncommon</td><td>20</td></tr><tr><td>Rare</td><td>30</td></tr><tr><td>Epic</td><td>40</td></tr><tr><td>Legendary</td><td>50</td></tr></tbody></table>

* All army size upgrades are applied directly to the hero's base size.
* Leveling up increases your base army size by 10%.

Additionally, depending on the hero's rarity, you will receive a bonus to the **base chance** of completing missions:

<table><thead><tr><th width="287">Rarity</th><th>Increased Chance</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>None</td><td>2%</td></tr><tr><td>Common</td><td>2%</td></tr><tr><td>Uncommon</td><td>4%</td></tr><tr><td>Rare</td><td>6%</td></tr><tr><td>Epic</td><td>8%</td></tr><tr><td>Legendary</td><td>10%</td></tr></tbody></table>

Each hero belongs to a specific civilization, which provides a **10% increase in the effectiveness** of their troops when your army is composed of units from the **same civilization**. (Only applies to troops of the same civilization)

<table><thead><tr><th width="287">Hero</th><th>Civilization</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Odysseus</td><td>Greeks</td></tr><tr><td>Achilles</td><td>Greeks</td></tr><tr><td>Ramses II</td><td>Egyptians</td></tr><tr><td>Keops</td><td>Egyptians</td></tr><tr><td>Ragnar</td><td>Nordics</td></tr><tr><td>Harald</td><td>Nordics</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://gods-glory.gitbook.io/gods-glory-whitepaper/game/heroes.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
