Jebus King template (old theme)

Okay, so we've apparently sorted out the issue with the guilds. We've temporarily removed them from our template. We're waiting for a fix from the HotA team. But I'd also like to hear your opinion on skills like Literacy and Diplomacy. Are such skills necessary in the template without "junk"? Many people have asked why we removed the Scholars. In reality, they haven't been removed; Scholars are still present in this template... they just don't grant Literacy to other heroes at higher levels. Hell said that in any serious match, you wouldn't want the main hero to gain Literacy. You can simply recruit a literate hero from the tavern. Also, regarding the artifacts, are Boots of Speed overpowered, or are they still balanced?
