{{user commentary|
Ryland's starting secondary skills go well together as Leadership compensates the morale penalty caused by different [[join]]ed units through Diplomacy. Additionally, earning gold with [[Treasury|Treasuries]] may help to hire [[wandering creature]]s as well.

He's probably the best Diplomacy starting hero because, unlike spellcasters, he will be focused on the attack and defense primary skills when levelling up. The ATK and DEF of the hero is a positive factor in diplomacy calculations.

The specialty in Dendroid, though not a bonus to Diplomacy, isn't bad either. The +1 speed is sorely needed by the creatures, and has greater proportional effect when compared to high speed creatures. Dendroids also have a horde building, [[Dendroid saplings]], when makes them more significant in weekly HP for Rampart's army.
