Matchup & timing
Use El General as Ignacio Allende in the Mexican story: his frontline presence and Trading Post construction can support a mission push, while his recovery mechanic rewards retreating before the hero is lost. Check the scenario’s available Mexican force and objectives; his profile is not the standard Mexican civilization hero roster.
Ignacio Allende’s hero profile
The game’s El General is based on Ignacio Allende, a Mexican independence leader associated with the Grito de Dolores. His listed profile has 1,000 hit points, 40% hand resistance, 5.0 speed and 24 Line of Sight. The 35-damage hand attack and 14-damage siege attack make him useful against nearby guardians and mission targets, but do not turn him into a substitute for a trained army.
Use his recovery mechanic to preserve the hero
El General can claim Treasures and build Trading Posts, allowing him to combine scouting with control of map sites. If his hit points reach zero, he collapses rather than being removed immediately. Once he regenerates to 100 hit points, a friendly unit or building nearby can revive him. Pull him out before a fight becomes fatal; after he falls, protect the recovery area and keep an ally close instead of abandoning him or continuing to expose the hero.
