I looked at the hero skills in the wiki: class abilities, skills, special abilities, and unique abilities. For everyone except the Barbarian, everything is interconnected between the original and Hammers of Fate. In the original and Hammers of Fate, the paths to unique abilities are one set, but in Tribes of the East, for these seven factions, they are completely different. There are also various branches coming off the regular skills. The screenshots show the differences in the connections between the original with Hammers of Fate and Tribes of the East.
There should also be a bunch more cards for the seven factions with the connections from the Tribes of the East expansion. Maybe I just don't see the whole picture as it's intended here. Ideally, of course, all these cards should be made into a skill wheel in the Heroes 5 section.
