Hiring Heroes
Heroes can be hired for 2500 . There are always two heroes available in a Tavern (unless no heroes remain to be hired), and if one is hired, a new hero will immediately appear in their place. The first two heroes available to hire at the beginning of each week (including at the beginning of the game) will start with their regular army. After either one is hired, the hero that takes its place in the Tavern will only have one non-upgraded first level creature in their army. At the beginning of each week, the left-most hero in the Tavern will belong to the faction the player started as, regardless of the Tavern they are hired from.

Taverns also can be found on the adventure map. Players may hire heroes in external Taverns, but they will not receive bonus Morale or more accurate troop estimates when visiting them. The AI will not use external Taverns to hire heroes.

Rumors
Rumors are visible below the Tavern video when entering a Tavern. Default rumors often provide useful information to the player, though some are proverbs or bits of lore. Map makers may also include custom rumors in a map's settings. Default rumors may reveal the terrain in which the grail is buried, as well as whether the grail is to be found in the underground layer.

Adventure Map Troop Estimates
The number of Taverns the player controls determines what they see when checking on an enemy town/garrison (as far as troop types/estimated numbers go).

- 0 Taverns - The town/garrison will look empty, even though it is not.
- 1 Tavern - The town/garrison will show troop types, but no estimated sizes.
- 2 (or more) Taverns - The town/garrison will show troop types and estimated sizes.

Restoration of Erathia[edit | hide | hide all]

Taverns on the adventure map featured different heroes than those found in towns.
Heroes were always hired with their regular army, which lead to tactics where players hired several heroes at once and combined their armies to speed up the beginning of the game.

Horn of the Abyss[edit | hide]

In Horn of the Abyss a variant of Tavern for water terrain was added. Hired heroes appear in boats.

HD Mod[edit | hide]

Thieves' Guild information can be checked by pressing 'G' hotkey without even opening a town window.

You can now invite heroes in taverns. For that, <UI.Tavern.InviteHero> should be set to 1 in the 'Tweaks' tab.

- The feature only available in single player game.
- The invited hero appears available for hire after hiring another hero.

Named Taverns in the campaigns[edit | hide]

Rusty Mug Tavern - A tavern in Nighon frequented by Balfour where Tawni Balfour was born and raised.
Shark Chowder Inn - A tavern in Krewlod where Bidley started down his path towards the Horn of the Abyss.
The Black Mark - A smelly little hole of a tavern where Bidley met with Jeremy and Casmetra
Torg's Tavern - A tavern near Eeofol's western border.
Wingtail Tavern - A tavern where Sandro would meet with Crag Hack to assign him missions.
Probably located in Erathia, Krewlod or the Contested Lands, due to the presence of goblins. It being in Erathia is especially likely, given that Crag Hack enters Avauntnell from the southeast in Bashing Skulls.

+'''Hiring Heroes'''<br>
+Heroes can be hired for 2500 {{g}}. There are always two heroes available in a Tavern (unless no heroes remain to be hired), and if one is hired, a new hero will immediately appear in their place. The first two heroes available to hire at the beginning of each week (including at the beginning of the game) will start with their regular army. After either one is hired, the hero that takes its place in the Tavern will only have one non-upgraded first level creature in their army. At the beginning of each week, the left-most hero in the Tavern will belong to the faction the player started as, regardless of the Tavern they are hired from.
-== Hiring heroes ==
-Heroes can be hired to the service of kingdom at the price of 2500 {{Gold}}. There are always two new heroes available for hire, and if one is hired, a new one will appear. However, at the beginning of each week (including the beginning of the map), the two heroes have a random number of creatures associated with the [[town type]] they represent with them. After either one is hired, the new hero appearing will only have one non-upgraded first level creature in his army. Additionally, at the beginning of each week, at least one of the heroes (left one) will be from the town the player represents.
-== Hearing rumors ==
+Taverns also can be found on the [[adventure map]]. Players may hire heroes in external Taverns, but they will not receive bonus [[Morale]] or more accurate troop estimates when visiting them. The AI will not use external Taverns to hire heroes.
-In the tavern screen above the heroes is a small box containing rumors. The game has a bunch of built-in rumors, but the mapmaker can enter own rumors as many of as he sees fit. This in mind, rumors can be extremely helpful on completely nonsense. Default rumors can for example reveal the [[terrain]] of which the [[grail]] is buried or which player has the most artifacts.
-== Thieves' guild ==
-[[Image:Thieves_Guild.png‎|thumb|right|300px|In game footage of the thieves' guild. Player has acquired four towns and thereby unlocked eight different statistics. (Note: five towns are required to see income statistics.)]]
-The thieves' guild is part of the tavern. It provides information on the relative strength of all the players and heroes. Each player is portrayed by a flag of their color which is placed further to the left depending on their rank regarding listed information. The information available in thieves' guilds is dependent on the number of towns a player controls.
+'''Rumors'''<br>
-* One town – Number of towns, number of heroes and the name and portrait of the best hero of every team.
+[[Rumor]]s are visible below the Tavern video when entering a Tavern. Default rumors often provide useful information to the player, though some are proverbs or bits of lore. Map makers may also include custom rumors in a map's settings. Default rumors may reveal the [[terrain]] in which the [[grail]] is buried, as well as whether the grail is to be found in the underground [[layer]].
-* Two towns – Gold, wood & ore and the [[Primary Skills|primary skills]] of the best heroes.
-* Three towns – [[Mercury|mercury]], [[Sulfur|sulfur]], [[Crystal|crystal]] & [[Gems|gems]], [[Obelisk|obelisk]] found and the personality of the best heroes
-* Four Towns – [[Artifacts]] and kingdom army strenght and the name and portrait of the strongest [[:Category:Units|monster]] of every hero.
-* Five Towns or more – You will see all possible information, just like visiting a [[Den of Thieves]]. Note that the information about enemy [[:Category:Heroes|heroes]] is the same as with four towns.
