correct... a pretender in the HallofFame only keeps others from getting in.

Actually, I have thought for a long time that they only keep the other heroes from appearing in the HoF list. That is, there will always be 10 units with Heroic ability, and if there are 4 pretenders on the HoF list, there will be four units with heroic abilities that aren't shown in the Hall of Fame.

It seems strange, but I remember having units with Heroic ability that didn't show up in the HoF.

Once your in the hall of fame, I think you keep your heroic ability even when your not one of the top 10(or 15) anymore. I've had this happen to me often.

It shouldn't be that way. For one, you can't use Ritual of Rebirth on those heroes.

But the boni the ability provides will only grow when the hero actually is on the list. He may drop off and come back later, though, and the stats will start rising again.

edit: spelling

you cant use ritual of rebirth on heroes 11-15 when using the 15 person HoF either(least I think I read that somewhere). Some things just are. =)

That could be it. Heh, and I had already thought I knew how Dominions worked, having played 1 and II for years!
