Hero’s Hour takes the turn-based strategy genre and incorporates auto-battler features. You must explore the world while building up your army to take down the AI-controlled enemies. But, there are also neutral armies, which may leave you wondering what they are.

Neutral armies aresimilar to your army and the AI-controlled armies. They get their turn and move about the overworld just like you and the enemy teams. The main difference is that, while they are hostile,they will not actively attack you or claim buildings, resources, or artifacts.
