====== 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]

  * 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.

=== 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
