Some joy with Mictlan

Is it certain that the chance to get heroes is cumulative?

2 months ago Johan wrote that "It is not cumulative, turns out though that I was way off on the numbers. Which became obvious after I thought about how often you do get heroes even with negative luck scales. Base chance is 3% +1% per luck scale. So with luck 3 you still have 0.94^30 appr.=29% to not recieve a hero after 30 turns".

Correction: 0.94^30 = 16% instead. So after 30 turns with Luck 3 you have about 84 % to see at least one hero, 60 % with Luck 0 and 26 % with Luck -2 (0% with Luck-3).
