In short, the developers initially started developing the game in a rather clumsy way. And now the question is, how to change their initial bonuses? I'm using the mod from your link, and I also don't have a map editor; in the version I downloaded, it's not in the bin folder. I searched for and tried several map editors, but none of them worked.
For the Tribes of the East, it could have been made simpler without having to delve into the game files. There's a cheat code to reset skills and abilities.
