Heroes can have children. For a Hero to sire a child, he/she must be in a city that you own. Then double-click the unit in the Stack List to open it's Information Window. Click the "Sire" button. You will then be asked to enter the child's name. Once you do that the child is born.
When the child is born, you will see that the parent and the child have blue frames. This means the parent and child are occupied. They can't move, attack, or cast spells. All they can do is defend. The parent will be this way for three turns. The child will be this way for twenty turns.
The child inherits many attributes from the parent. Everything in fact except Name, Magic Strength, Melee Attack, and Combat Bonus. The child will have will have different spells then the parents, but the number of spells will be the same.
The Child however, gets one Experience Point for every turn he/she is occupied. This represents the child's education.
