Britons[]
Richard the Lionhearted[]
Historical years- 1157 to 1199 C.E.
Richard the first of England, better known as "the Lion hearted" due to his bravery in combat, is the civilization hero for the Britons. Historically, Richard fought extensively against Saladin and their struggle is the focus of two of the campaigns. Keeping with his crusader theme, Richard has a retinue of knights templar (without the zeal skill), making him the only hero to have a mercenary for his personal retinue. Richard is highly skilled in combat and has many impressive abilities, including the ability to extend the firing range of archers. Richard is a horse calvary hero unit, making him weak against pikemen and camels (including Saladin).

A hero is a special unit, typically a named historical, mythological, or sometimes fictional figure. Usually, heroes are not available in random map games, but often appear in campaign scenarios as key figures. The most important heroes are often "must-survive" heroes; that is, the game is lost if they are killed.
For example, cavalry units are usually the fastest units in a game, whereas siege units, Elephant units and Monks/Priests without speed bonuses from technologies or civilization bonuses are among the slowest units available.
Jason (Hero Jason before Return of Rome) is an Infantry unit in Age of Empires that is only available in the Scenario Editor and Campaign mode. He has a unique appearance in the original game, but has the appearance of a Short Swordsman in the Definitive Edition.
Greek Heroic Age, in Greek mythology, the period at which semi-divine and human heroes are supposed to have lived, between the coming of the Greeks to Thessaly and the Greek return from Troy. Considered one of the Five Ages of Man.
Considering the fact that everyone starts with 1000 elo means that I think that is not average elo, but based on low elo (although, only slightly below average elo if range is between 1000 and 1200 elo). An average elo player if I had to take a guess would be based on a range between 1200 to 1500 elo.
Jason is the Greek legendary hero best known for his leadership of the Argonauts in the quest for the Golden Fleece and for his wife Medea (of Colchis). Along with the Theban Wars, and the hunting of the Calendonian boar, the story of Jason is one of the three great pre-Trojan war adventures in Greek history.

Researchers have offered different definitions of exactly what makes a hero, but most suggest that heroism involves prosocial, altruistic actions that involve an element of personal risk or sacrifice.
Heroism means sacrificing their safety for the good of others, while being brave in a serious crisis, but does not always have a positive ending. Heroes sacrifice their safety for the good of others.
There are two types of hero's in the world. The four holy hero's and the vassal hero's. The vassal heroes are natives who were chosen to wield weapons almost as powerful as the four holy heroes. They have the orbs on their weapons and a lot of the same abilities as a holy hero.
