D Tier

The Heroes of History tier list includes 5 types of unit: cavalry, siege units, rangers, infantry and heavy infantry. In addition, each hero has a specific title: great leader, genius, manipulator, commander or champion. D Tier heroes are the ones you'll never use, except in the early game. I advise you to get rid of them quickly, otherwise you won't be able to develop your empire.
