Do movement Ancillaries from a hero contribute to the army's movement?

[Lampros]

Or does it only add movement when the said hero is alone?

only to that hero.

Campaign movement bonuses never worked on any heroes. Those followers were made for lords.

Unless it actually tells you it applies to the hero's army, I don't think it does.

Damn, that sucks. Thanks!

Wait, what about the "Increase Mobility" skill from certain heroes - such as most engineers or Ulrika?

[leyasu888]

the increase mobility skill will work with the army that the hero is embedded into

Hmm, but it doesn't explicitly say that it applies to the army. It's so confusing trying to figure out what applies to the army as well - and what applies only to the hero. And I also read that hero skills or Ancillaries that apply to the army doesn't stack with the same skills or Ancillaries from another hero?

Because embed always applies to the army.

Followers traits and skills unless specifically mentioning "Hero's army" will not impact the army they are in when assigned to a hero. If the follower doesn't state anyhing, it will only apply to the unit the follower is assigned too. If it states Lord's army, it does nothing, because a hero is not a lord unit. For example, for a long time Tomb Kings heroes could have "treacherous" which would give +5 mA/mD to Tomb Scorpions for the Lord's army, meaning Tomb King lords with the trait would give +5, but heroes with said trait would not.

When you mouse over "Increase Mobility", either on the skill points screen (and then mouse over the popup window for more details) or on the unit card info panel (which you have to toggle over to campaign effects by clicking the eye and dagger button near the bottom) it says the effect is "Increase the campaign movement range of the parent army". It's also an embed skill, which is by definition applied to the army the Hero is embedded in.
