Teutoburg’s Liberator
Rarity: EPIC
Civilization: 
Germany
Talents: 
Arminius, known as his German name Hermann, was a Chieftain of the Germanic Cherusci tribe who famously led an allied coalition of Germanic tribes to a decisive victory against three Roman legions in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in 9 AD. An auxiliary lieutenant to the Roman general Publius Quinctilius Varus, Arminius used his knowledge of Roman tactics to ambush and destroy the legions.
The defeat at Teutoburg would precipitate the Roman Empire’s permanent strategic withdrawal from Magna Germania, and the Romans made no more concerted attempts to conquer and hold Germania beyond the Rhine river. Modern historians have regarded Arminius’ victory as “Rome’s greatest defeat” and one of the most decisive battles in history.

Review of Commander Hermann:
- Hermann’s active skill deals one of the highest single-target damage (1150 when Expertised) amongst all Epic commanders in Rise of Kingdoms. It also reduces rage of target by 100 and Silences target for 2 seconds.
- As an Epic commander, he is easy to upgrade (using Epic Commander Sculptures) and Expertise, allowing even free-to-play players to enjoy his abilities.
