ASW – Alternative hero leveling.

The class system was not invented in Heroes of Might and Magic; it shouldn't be attributed to it just for the sake of it.


No, my project had specific goals, and reducing speeds is a means to achieve them.


Well, from the first message, it follows that there are only 2 differences from TE:
1) Emphasis on aesthetics (a subjective factor)
2) No claims of balance

I will explain the second point:

The fact is that in this context, it will lead to overpowered upgrades to strong perks through strong (previously, there was a balance: strong perks were achieved through weak ones).

The most obvious example. Attack. +5/10/15% to melee damage. The skill itself is completely useless. But it opens access to very valuable skills like Battle Fury, Tactics, and Fire Arrows. And from your concept, it follows that Attack (as a weak perk) needs to be strengthened? Who would then refuse to upgrade a strong skill with super perks?

Or is the goal not to "strengthen perks," but to strengthen rarely taken perks? Then this is a pure TE approach.
