Thank you very much for the scripts!
I look forward to your reply!

Scripts will only work with :smile30: :smile45:
1) For example, you can change the experience required for each level to an impossible value (e.g., 100000000 for level 1, 200000000 for level 2, etc.), and "increase" the level only through scripts,

Ment

There are two functions for skills: HasHeroSkill(hero name, skill ID) and GiveHeroSkill, as well as a trigger for leveling up (HERO_LEVELUP_TRIGGER).

, checking how much experience the hero has after each battle or visit to an obelisk (etc.). Give the desired skill or ability. The downside is that the level will remain at 1, but the progression will be there. Of course, you can also set the hero's maximum level immediately, but then how will the hero attack? Although, there was something in the scripts that allows you to increase the level without gaining all the experience (something like ChangeStat for experience), which would eliminate the static level.
2) Almost everything can also be implemented with a mod. You need to change the skill tree file, setting the linear sequence you specified. Place this file in the existing path in the map.
The only problem that may arise here is with obtaining skills (like light magic, dark magic, etc.), but by changing the initial requirements and making the threshold more flexible, you can achieve an acceptable result.
3) There is another option: replace the skill and ability icons with something unknown, and act according to Ment's scheme. This way, when a skill is increased, we won't even see the extra one, and we won't see the one we took either :smile04:

Ment

You can create this trigger, use it to track whether the hero has leveled up, check what he took when he leveled up, remove that skill from him, and replace it with the one you need. However, I don't think it's worth it.

I agree with the last sentence :)
4) This is already a complete perversion:
During or before the level up, pass the turn to the computer, it will choose the skill, and then return the hero to us, and then follow Ment's scheme. I don't know if it will work at all, but it's a cool idea)
But there will be a lot of trouble...:smile16:
