no ability is gained! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

They are now a non-pretender commander in the hall of fame.. why no heroic ability?

It's not a Wished for unit, is it? What unit is it? It might have the Pretender flag set on it anyway.

I've gained heroic abilities this way, usually on the turn I GoR them (since they're a four-star surviving veteran or something). I haven't done it since several patches ago, though.

Coldshard... toss us a screenshot.

Also verify you don't have two commanders with the same name.

The unique summons tend not to get HoF abilities, as well. e.g. the elemental royalty are not supposed to.

I guess that must be it. The two I had in mind were the Daughter of Typhon and the Harvester of Sorrows.

Any reason why these guys arent supposed to?

Daughter of Typhon is unique, so won't get heroics. Most easily available SC chassises are unique, and uniques won't get heroics to prevent awesome SCs being even better. Can you imagine a Queen of Storms with double hp from heroic ability?

Harvester of Sorrows should get a heroic ability, though.

I guess I dont see a reason why the Daughter of Typhon is unique either..

She only has 2 misc slots, so she isnt much of a SC chassie, although she is fun.

She is unique for thematic reasons. Her immortality also helps.

Seems she could at least have a head slot for thematic reasons then http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Doesn't she have six heads? She should have six head slots.

Nine. Although not all of them are the same size -- one immortal head, four great, four lesser IIRC.

Nine head slots would be... interesting. Amon-Hotep, starshine, wraith crown, six spirit helms? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/redface.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/redface.gif
