Heroes?

[Coldshard]

Is there a way to tell which heroes are possible based on which scales?

I ask because I've played a number of games with Pythium on different scales and I've always gotten Pontifex serpentus within the first 10 turns or so.

Except the latest long game I am playing where I set the magic scales to magic 1 instead of drain 1 and took turmoil off of 3 and put it on 2. Now I am up past turn 90 and still havent seen the guy. I've gotten the serpent riding hero once and the incredibly poor melee hero more than 6 times.. but no pontifex

I realize that it is all random and one game doesn't prove any trend.. but for my own personal edification is there any way to know what heroes are possible for nations based on which scales are picked?

Pretty sure it's all dependent on Luck scales. Order-Turmoil might also play a part.

Conventional wisdom is that what hero arrives is completely random. No scale effects.

The chance of a hero is dependent on luck.

The jeff is correct... only luck determines an increase/decreased chance of appearance. The other scales do nothing for heroes.

Yep, and IIRC the base chance is 3% per turn, -1 per tick of misfortune, +1 per tick of luck.
So misfortune 3 means no heroes, and misfortune 2 means you only have a 1% chance per turn to get a hero.

Agrajag how do you know such a thing? Where can one find such detailed information about some game features?
