Ah but this is confusing because in the assignment section it says "any assignment"

so it should mean you get everything on any assignment? I can verify on my next

game but anyone knows for sure?

BL or Cultists tend to be my favorite picks. Then again, I primarily play BL in any case. For a more traditional play experience, it'd have to be Walkers or Cultists. There's so much clutter in the Mages' heroes, and the Vaulters' heroes are no better. The Phages' heroes are awful in a city, and the Phage path is just awful in general, really. The umpteen army regeneration powers are either too fickle to be worth the investment, or too small to be worth considering in lieu of the Infantry path, and the fact that normal army regen isn't slow at all. Again, I mostly play BL so my priorities may be a bit skewed, but army regen isn't much of a consideration for me, especially with Eyeless Ones in the mix.

Gosh, now I'm hoping for an Eyeless One hero.

Putting a Drakken governor in as a leader in a city that produces influence and food has enabled me to more effectively use my available heroes.

Yeah yeah, it is true that you won't always have access to a Cultist hero. I disagree on Cultists being better for science, dust, and production cities than influence cities though. It doesn't have to be long for Cultists to get that +15% Influence bonus from level 1 Proselytizer, and most of the Cultists that you see in the market have Influence Boost. I think Drakken are more of a last resort for when you need a governor but there aren't really any good options, or you need someone that will level up faster.

At the end of the day, you are defo right that a lot of it depends on what heroes are available and how you use what you got. But I think Drakken pale in comparison to the others due to their weak skill tree. Which kinda sucks since Drakken are supposed to be more of a diplomatic race and end up being much stronger soldiers.

Nope, Cultists are better than Drakken for influence. Proselytizer, and Impassioned Preacher are definitely better at generating influence than the Drakken's Narrative Master. Drakken are pretty awful governors and I would go as far as to say they're the worst in the game. Even science boosts can be useful as opposed to the poor skills like Friendly Banner and Raptor's Eye that the Drakken have.

For Administrative Leaders:

General Purpose Best Hero tree is Cultist.

Best Dust is Broken Lord.

Best Science/Dust is Roving Clans. (trade routes)

Best Production is Wild Walkers.

Best Influence is Drakken

Best Science is Argbadh Bose Something (Vaulters) (ignore the other vaulters, get her for your top science city with all the one per empire science buildings)

Necrophages are ok at Food & Military Production.

Most Ardent Mage and Vaulter heros are terrible administrative leaders (IMO).

Combat depends on your troop type. Different combat trees seem better depending on your army weights for different unit types.

If you look at the UI, where it says "Any assignment" for that skill, on other skills it says something like either "When assigned to an Army" or "When assigned to a City", so, clearly, "Any assignment" in this context just means "When assigned to either an Army or a City" (does not imply that it affects cities to which the hero is not assigned), and then in regards to the specifics listed below that on the skill, the ones that affect cities are active when your hero is on an army assignment and ones that affecting armies work when your hero is on a city assignment.
