If I embed 2 heroes with the Training action in the same army, does it stack?

I'm trying to rank up my lord, heroes and units faster so I'm wondering if this is possible (2 heroes of the same type in the same army) and if it stacks.

Blue skills of heros don't stack no. Any yellow skills they have that are army wide do though.

Not only do those kinds of hero-specific skills not stack, the army will only use the most-recently-added character's skills. So if you have a hero with training with all 3 points and put in the same kind of hero with no points in it, the old hero will no longer provide the fully-levelled training.

Thanks for the quick replies. This is really helpful (even though I wish this stacked).

Training does not apply to Characters, only (non-character) Units. You need effects like Mentor skill to improve Character XP gain.
Same with the Lord skill, but it's at least a separate effect and the Lord skill will stack with one Hero embed action.

The last-updated (embedded or spent skillpoint) will display, but It changes to lowest once it updates at end-turn and/or start-turn.

Army buff skills don't stack, constant effects do. You can stack public order, income boost, growth and so on without any issue.

Army buff skills are not exclusively blue, several heroes, Dwarf Runepriests for example, have red army buffs as well.

This is really good to know. I'm really trying to rank up my units faster so that's not that bad for me, Thanks.

Which is a thing they should address. Like it´s 3 wasted points for the additional heroes, while it takes a bit on most till You can have 3 points in it.

Can´t be too hard that the game chooses the one with the highest skill by default. These are the things they should address with their "hotfixes" - the things which affect any faction in any playthrough.

Yellow army buffs from heros 100% stack. You can do some wild upkeep reduction strats using yellow line army buffs and generally that is what that particular tidbit is used for. The blue training and casualty replenishment ect won't stack but a yellow upkeep reduction you can keep stacking up heros to make the attached army cheaper and cheaper on factions that allow it. And yes I loaded up a save where I was doing exactly that and the upkeep jumped up each removed hero.

This is good to know. I always avoided stacking the same army buffs on heroes as i just assumed they did not stack.
