Why devs decided to make easy game even easier is beyond me. In DLC you can take signature skill every 4 levels which will make your heroes very OP very fast. We dont want that, cause I want my capstone skills to be really capstone at level 20, not 16!
Changes to Hero signature skills:
2.0 mod changes:
Reverts to vanilla settings of 5 levels needed for new Hero Signature Skill.
Warding Bond now has 34% reduction of damage
Holy Retribution now does 10 damage (and scales up with level)
rest are unchanged (by DLC defaults)
2.2 mod changes (optional):
Summon undead is now available only to Dark and Barbarian cultures
Summon animal is now available only to High and Feudal cultures
Summon elemental is now available only to Mystic and Industrious cultures
AI now has high priority in picking these.
NOTE: game will still show them ALL in the list and you can select them, but IT WONT apply skill if your HERO dont have required culture. Just select some other skill. There are some premade default heroes that strangely dont have culture assigned, so this rule wont apply to them unfortunately.
This is to prevent spamming free summons cause its very OP! (try making 5 heroes each with 2 of these skills and u have easy 10 extra units in battle in game default settings.. I really found theres NO other skill nearly strong, so for balance reasons we limit that to 1 summon per hero - its still 5 possible summons if u have 5 heroes, so still strong)
For this mod you should start a new game.
compatible with any mod that doesnt change same Hero signature skills.
