Loggy's Hall of Fame reverse engineering notes
I'm sleepy and it's late but might as well get some of this out.
95% chance to:
- Roll a random number 1-12.
- If this is exactly 9, and you either have some magic skills or some unknown thing to do with ranged weapons, gain ability 9. [precision]
- If exactly 10 and unknown criteria, gain ability 10 [endurance]
- If exactly 5 and unknown criteria, gain ability 5 [valor]
- If exactly 11 and unknown criteria, gain ability 11 [obesity]
- Any other result not above: unconditionally gain that ability ID.
- If any check is failed, reroll a new number 1-12 and try again
Otherwise:
- Roll a random number 100-109.
- If this is exactly 102, gain ability 102 [legendary command of undead] if you are not MA Marignon and any one of the following are true:
- Death magic level > 0
- Blood magic level > 0
- Your nation has a value for attribute 210 that is greater than 0 [Lanka, Therodos, MA Ermor, Sceleria, Nazca, Lemuria, LA Ctis]
- If this is exactly 103, gain ability 103 if you have any nonholy paths [adept research]
- If this is exactly 104, gain ability 104 if you have a certain quantity of eyes [third eye]
- If this is exactly 105, gain ability 105 if you have any magic skill and are not mindless [daftness]
- If this is exactly 108, gain ability 108 if you have any magic skill and are not mindless [fast casting]
- Any other result not above: unconditionally gain that ability
- If any check is failed, roll 100-109 again.
If you got ability 7, update your current hitpoints to match your maximum. You gain abilities with a base value of 100.

Actually getting into the HoF
The executable is quite slippery on this one…
It calculates scores for each commander:
- Pretenders, units owned by nation ids above 250, uniques, and #nohof-ers are not allowed
- Score is Kills/5 + (Melee kills + number of deaths * 4) * 2 + Experience + Affliction score * 2
Affliction score is:
- 1 for blind
- 1 for crippled
- 1 for dementia OR feebleminded (but not 2 for both)
- 1 for mute
- 1 for limp
- 1 for weakness
- 1 for battle fright
- 1 for chest wound
- 1 for never healing wound
- 1 for lost weapon/bodypart
- 1 for lost head
- 1 for disease
- 1 for soul slayed
- 1 for each lost eye
- 1 for each lost arm
