I thought this also..that intel had to be a specific level to effect each unit....say 50 for swords...184? for pikes....but after seeing the above reports...49 intel had effect on archers...not a great one but still it did effect things.
These numbers 50/184 i believe are the capped limits..when higher intel will no longer help the unit...but any added intel below the cap limit will help some?..as seen with the archers and swords using the 49 intel hero.

But DCJ correct...att matters far more...taking the enemy troops life away faster is more useful.....but if u can find heroes with the high intel/att....it may just be worth it....every little helps.
