Is it better to take as soon as possible the perk Enlightenment? I am not aware of its mechanics, but I believe that because it gives stats every few levels, it makes it worth taking for campaign Heroes and if it's taken early (1-st Level), it will unleash its full potential. Is that true?
Thanks in advance!
P.S.: I am about to try an Absolutely Perfect Playthrough through the campaign- taking all the stat objects and the desired perks, even of it requires quite a number of restarts. Any other tips will be helpful.

The bonus stat points for enlightenment, IIRC, are retroactive.
Basic enlightenment gives you 1 bonus stat point for every 4 levels. If you take it first when you hit level 12, you immediately get 3 bonus stat points.
If you are level 18 when you take advanced enlightenment (which gives 1 stat per 3 levels), you get 2 stat points (you already had 4, and now you qualify for 6)

Agreed, but given the original phrasing of the question, I think that it was concerned about the stat points.Mlai wrote:It's still better to take Enlightenment early, if you already know you want it. Because Enlightenment allows you to receive bonus exp for every battle and treasure chest.
Also, early on you may want logistics or a magic school, or attack.
If you are going for a particular skill (such as the ultimate), then you should always take a needed secondary skill over an ability or non-essential secondary, since you cannot be certain it will be offered again.

That can easily be offset by skills that allow you to lose less troops and take on more battles faster...Mlai wrote:It's still better to take Enlightenment early, if you already know you want it. Because Enlightenment allows you to receive bonus exp for every battle and treasure chest.
Of course without hard numbers i can't say which is better, but it's something to consider.

Enlightenment is the very best skill in the game. Because it gives you bonuses to all stats, even stats you wouldn't normally develop very highly due to your heroes race.
Working on tracking the locations of Heroes IV battles. Stage 6 of campaign map finished, all initial Heroes IV campaigns mapped.
