Very nice - thanks for the info. I'm tempted to go to misfortune 2 so I get a chance of getting these guys.

Cheers

I think I've found at least one rather strong Blood technique, though it requires something Mictlan doesn't come with originally. Hmm.

Does misfortune 2 really give you a chance at the heroes? Because I have tried it and never seem to get a hero unless I'm misfortune 1 or better.

As I understand you have a 3% chance, cumulative, per turn of getting a national hero at luck0, -1 per level of misfortune, +1 per level of luck. This resets when you get a hero.

So at misfortune 2 you have a 5% chance by of getting a hero, by turn 10 10%. If you haven't got one by turn 20 you would feel rather unlucky. Considering how good they are this is worth thinking about.

Would that involve the combination of dwarven smithing hammers and soul contracts?

At misfortune 2, you have about 50% chance of getting your first hero by turn 11, and 90% by turn 20.
Misfortune 1 means 50% by turn 8 and 90% by turn 14
Fortune 0 : 50% by turn 6, 90% by turn 11
Fortune 1 : 50% by turn 5, 90% by turn 10
Fortune 2 : 50% by turn 5, 90% by turn 8
Fortune 3 : 50% by turn 4, 90% by turn 8

Of course, misfortune 3 means no hero. As you can see, going over fortune 0 will give you your heroes only marginally faster (on average).
