Hall of Fame Mechanics

[LoloMo]

How exactly does one get into the Hall of Fame? It seems to be generally either number of kills or experience points, but the ranking isn't strictly ordered according to any of these two stats, nor is it a total of kills and xp. How is it calculated?

[LoloMo]

After some discussion on the doms irc, it seems that you are ranked according to a score which is computed by (2 x kills) + (10 x deaths) + experience.

deaths? like, the deaths you have witnessed, or your own deaths?

[LoloMo]

Your own deaths, symbolized by the number of crosses when viewing the hall of fame. Multiple deaths is only possible with immortal units, or pretenders that can be called back.

[Zylithan]

cool. stupid question, but how do you get experinece?

[Shovah32]

IIRC Paticipating in battles, winning battles and scoring hits on enemies(I think) are the ways to gain experience. A small amount of experience is also gained over time.

Look at Twan's FAQ (http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/threads/showflat.php?Number=472880#Post472880).

And nobody saw fit to inform me of Twan's earlier work so I could have shamelessly stolen parts of it after the FAQ thread first went up?!

Related question: in another thread there was a suggestion that the kind of heroic ability you get may be related to something - unit type. Or perhaps the WAY you behaved ? For example if you got a lot of kills you might have legendary cruelty more often.
How do you get heroic research ? I don't think I got this even once.

Ey buddy, you're way longer here than I am, if anybody should have known about it it's you. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Certain of the heroic abilities have conditions attached to them. But IIRC these are only either or conditions, ie you have to have at least 1 in a path to get heroic research.
