The Hero Academy Professor blog is my second attempt at creating a guide to competitive gameplay within the Hero Academy community. This blog will, over time, feature in-depth guides to each unit, race, map, spell – everything you can ask for, I’ll talk about it! In addition, I’ll post screenshots and analyses for a few of my games when I can in order to give some ”real world” examples for applying the strategies and tips I’ll be discussing. There is also a discussion thread on the Robot Entertainment forums where I encourage everyone to participate in the discussions of the topics I bring up, as well as share your own advice and opinions so that I may incorporate it into the blog. In the future, I hope to host a variety of tournaments and challenges for the community to participate in!

It starts out like a bad joke. What do you get when you take four longtime friends and put one each in business school, law school, a math doctoral program, and Hogwarts for computer science?
Answer: Very intensely contentious debates about strategy, tactics and best practices in competitive environments of all imaginable varieties. When we’re not arguing about the best way to win a game or sell a product or defend the world from the doomsday flavor du jour, we’re creating analytic tools and finding new ways to prove ourselves right (…and each other wrong). They say the strongest steel is forged over fire, and that’s why we like working together. Our games of Risk get pretty stressful, but we think those sessions are compensated by the fruits of our collaborative efforts.
And that’s what gave rise to this Probability Calculator / Unit Tracker for Hero Academy. We recognize that a huge part of winning in Hero Academy is understanding the magnitude of the possible risks, and knowing everything that can be known about the game – from how likely it is that the opponent has a potion in his hand to where the most easily contested units lie on the map.
