Heroes are described by three general statistics that affect their performance: Command, Health and Magic. Each has a substantial influence on the hero's skills and their abilities on the battlefield. Let's have a closer look.

Health - corresponds to the number of health points, stamina and morale of the hero, as well as the number of health points regenerated outside of battle. It's a crucial trait, relevant mostly to Warriors, as it allows creating resistant and hard-to-kill characters. Wizards expand it the less, which makes them vulnerable and limits their actions (they tire quickly).

Magic - enables learning better spells and increases the overall number of available ones. Each hero can develop it to a certain level, but only Wizards can master it - they are the only ones who have access to the most powerful spells, and they use it more frequently, too.

Notice that the Wisdom skill additionally increases the number of available spells.

Command - corresponds to the number of units in the hero's army and their maximum experience level (I, II, III or IV). If you wish to have a large army with a lot of powerful creatures, this is the stat to grow - preferably by investing in a Commander which specializes in it. Notice that Wizards are terrible at commanding, but instead they can summon monsters during battle.
