Posts from Do you take the Literacy skill?

Why? Not always to GIVE spells to others. Sometimes, to RECEIVE spells from others.
Need an example?
Slow.

Of course, this doesn't mean that it's NECESSARY for the main heroes on all maps to take this skill, but there are different cases...

“Teamwork is just an awesome skill when you play together in an alliance! We usually played like that. I played as Necropolis, and he played as Fortress, and we would meet somewhere and learn magic together! Usually, this only works against tough opponents, because against the others, you can just run back to your ally's castle and visit the Mage Guild on your own.”

I've kind of forgotten a bit.
Do both heroes need this skill in order to learn a spell?
Or is it the teacher who needs the skill, or the other way around? =)

No, not both. It's enough for one hero to have Literacy; then, when they meet any other hero, they will exchange spells – that is, he will teach the other, and he will learn from the other.:smile02:

In my opinion, it's not worth burdening the main hero with this skill. If it's really necessary, it's better to develop the secondary character's knowledge and have them share the main hero's valuable insights with the people after interacting with him.

Are you sure that a secondary hero has enough intelligence to learn the knowledge of your main hero and pass it on to the people?

Well, the secondary hero needs to be prepared accordingly for this – you need to slightly increase their wisdom... :) Everything requires certain efforts...

That's why it's optimal to take Aine as support – she has Wisdom and Literacy, and also brings in money. Ah, I love her!:smile03:

And to "pass on his wisdom to the people," do you really need to increase the Wisdom of all of them? When their priority is the economy. No, if you have a second combat hero, then it's definitely necessary to increase their Literacy and Wisdom, and even Wisdom for both of them, but in other cases, it's not necessary.

And to "pass on his wisdom to the people," is it necessary for everyone to definitely level up their wisdom? When their priority is the economy. No, but if you have a second combat hero, then it is very much worth leveling up literacy and wisdom, and wisdom for both, but in other cases, it is not necessary.

If you read your latest posts, it is not entirely clear what you want to say: "Why take literacy for the main hero if there is no one to pass on knowledge to...", "...why level it up for this secondary hero, because then you will need to level up other heroes so that they can learn these spells..." - and so on...

Indeed, if there is no goal to have more than one tank hero, then literacy is not needed at all; he will learn everything himself, he will not share with anyone, he will slowly do everything and come out a winner! ;)

The question is - I repeat - how to do all this, only three to four times faster in terms of game time? For this, you need to have five leveled-up heroes and one secondary hero with literacy, who will run around them all and teach them all the same spells. This is faster than dragging each hero to different cities in order to learn magic... Here, the only question is the speed of the game, and literacy is not needed for anything else (as a rule)...

Although sometimes, for example, the only source on the map of such a useful spell as Resurrection is Alamar. Moreover, he is a literate hero by default. And without him, no one will ever learn this spell... Isn't that a goal for a secondary hero?
