Added after 10 minutes
Comments: updates are highlighted in bold.
Offensive and Defensive Hirds added - due to the fact that it became possible to use them not only for dwarves (bonuses are twice as strong as in the original).
Haste Magic, Stone Skin removed - to standardize basic skills for all races, including orcs. A possibility is moving them to racial.
For the same reason, Arcane Luck is moved to racial (too situational, and useless for orcs).
Replacing Arcane Luck, Magic Luck is added, allowing significant mana savings (in fact, with +5 luck, the hero spends mana half as often!).
Receiving random artifacts is now moved from Logistics to Luck (perk Luck of the Road).
The mechanics of Diplomacy are changed: now it directly affects battle, allowing the use of enemy troops.
Logistics will give a combat bonus to the hero's troops (bonus to starting ATB).
All perks in Logistics now revolve around bonuses and penalties to initiative and speed; Storm Wind and Fog Veil are also placed here.
Please note that a large number of perks are being cleaned out. In order to simplify leveling and leave only truly interesting perks in the game.
Target - 6 perks per skill, without level 3 perks.
