I have 5 historical heroes, in the vast majority of my battles i did not fight the HH. On some I did not fight the HH at all. On one of them i tried scouting over and over to get the HH to come up and he never did so i after a while i quit scouting and attacked, but the hero did change every time i scouted. All of mine I got in less than 20 hits usually less than 10
