This Atlantean Oracle has become a hero. Like a regular Oracle, he is still slow and relatively weak in combat; but as a hero, he is more effective against myth units. A hero Oracle is a very good scout because his maximum line of sight is nearly doubled and he "sees" more quickly. All heroes may pick up Relics.

Ancient Atlanteans relied heavily on the priest class for leadership and guidance. Oracles were priests who through a form of deep meditation could see beyond what normal sight would allow. Oracles were scouts and lookouts for Atlantean armies. It is debatable whether their great sight was granted by the Titans or the product of a deep attunement with their environment.
