How do you get multiple heroes - High Elf

[Hellsfury]

Finally learning strategies and have been reading about the hero roles. In my campaign it maxes out heroes at 3 or 4 on each but I am reading guides and it says people have as many as 20 nobles running around. How do you get past the 3 or 4 that it maxes you out on?

Could it be via confederations? I believe this allows you to go above your max so you inherit all the confederated factions agents as well and we know AI loves to spam agents.

Buildings. There are buildings, that increase your hero capacities. For example the handmaiden's gallery increases the capacity of handmaidens by 1. The tier 4 elven court increases your noble capacity and the tier 4 mage tower increases you mage capacity.

Each hero type has one or two building type that increase the number of them you can have.
Only exception being TK, since their number is increased by tech.

Also some lords/LL / followers can also increase the number of heroes depending of the type and faction.

I think the buildings allow up to 3 or 4 as OP states but then there is how to get from that number to 20ish. Note: I have never seen so many of a single agent so I would theorize either it is a BS claim or it is gaming a system (i.e via confederations, lord traits etc) rather than something that is normally attainable.

I of course could be wrong

It's +1 noble capacity per tier 4 elven court. so you can recruit 20 of them with 19 major settlements (excluding traits)
There is a maximum hero capacity of 100, that you can not get beyond though.
But it is not a problem for most factions to have like 10 of a certain hero type.
Tomb kings are completely different. you can only get hero capacity with technology.

I didn't know that! Learn something new every day! Thanks for clarifying

honest question: why do you try to answer a question you don't know the answer to?

[Flip]

Because I thought I did pretty much. I was wrong. + 1 for learning and personal growth!

So when you capture another factions major settlement and add the hero building you can add another hero to your army?
