no hero bonus for the fire mage

[Wish]

is this a bug?

In on game I have both fire kings dropping flames from the sky every turn. despite being #1 and #4 on the hall of fame with around 1000 kills each, (give or take,) and neither of them have a hero bonus.

This made sense to me, a new feature for dom 3 -- you get on the board by using spells which are completely anonymous, well it makes sense that you don't get to reap the rewards of being legendary... the general public don't know its you anyway.

In another game I have caelum's Fire angel, whatever he's called, decked out in gear and stomping armies by tossing flame storm at them, two, three times, then cleaning up with falling fires.

this guy, he's in battle, face to face, reigning firey terror down on his enemies... top of the list in his game for having slaughtered so many... but --- but he also has no hero bonus.

this time it doesn't make sense to me... is this a bug? how is the later case explainable?
