Do mercenary heroes waiting in the barracks or bought from the market count toward the two-hero limit?
The rulebook's two-hero limit applies to heroes in play, and several players agree on the market and return cases.

Only heroes in play count toward the limit of two from Wave 2 on, so a merc hero waiting beside the barracks does not. You may buy a merc hero while two heroes are already out, but you cannot deploy it until a hero leaves play. A hero returned to the fortress frees a slot, though new units can only deploy in the next Prep Phase.
