Political Hero Skills

Is it even necessary to have political heroes? This is a war game, and are we better off with all heroes focusing on military skills?
Take a closer look, and you will see that a mayor can increase the defense of a city.
So, even from a military perspective, it still makes sense to have heroes with political skills.

Here's how I grew my political heroes.

Military Focused
Step 1 : Level 10 in Survive.
Step 2 : Level 20 in Local (Yes, this is probably the best political skills).
Step 3 : Level 20 in Military Zeal (Yes, you want to be able to build troops as fast as you can).
Step 4 : Level 20 in Survive
Total 93 points, war level 24 - This is about hero level 42.

Now, if you want your hero to be half military/politics, this is where you stop, and you can start your military career. But if you want to build, you may continue here.

Military/Builder Combo
Step 5 : Level 10 in Pal of Dwarf
Step 6 : Level 10 in Born Blacksmith
Step 7 : Level 10 in Geologist
Step 8 : Level 20 in Architect (This is the next most useful political skills, especially for starters).
Total 157 points, war level 40 - This is about hero level 58.

Again, you may want to stop here. Faster resource rates don't really help much. You are better off raiding for resources. But if you feel you really want a totally political path, here's the rest.

Totally Political
