Stage Coach

Tips
The Stagecoach is your hero lifeblood. You'll need to recruit additional heroes to fill out a party of four. Drag and drop them into your roster. While you're here, spend some of your starting resources on UPGRADING the Stage Coach network. This will increase the number of heroes available here in the future. To upgrade, click the + symbol on the left and then click the upgrade.

Stage Coach Network
Upgrading the Stage Coach increases the available heroes for hire each week. The change will take effect after you return from your next quest. Note that regardless of the upgrade level, there will always be enough recruits to go on an expedition; for example if you only have a single adventurer in your roster, you'll have 3 recruits available even if this upgrade hasn't been purchased.

Hero Barracks
Increases the size of the hero roster.

Experienced Recruits
Upgrading this provides a chance of higher level recruits appearing in the stage coach. Recruits at higher levels will have their weapons, armor and skills upgraded to the max, and will have up to 4 positive and 4 negative quirks. They will also have additional skills unlocked: level 1 heroes have a 4th camping skill unlocked, level 2 heroes have that and a 5th combat skill unlocked, level 3 heroes will have 5 camping skills and 6 combat skills unlocked. If a hero died in the last expedition, it should guarantee the appearance of a new recruit 2 levels lower (capped by the level available).
