P.S: The phrase "does not depend on magic" would be better expressed as "slightly depends on magic."

The Guardian Angel will be enhanced in the future.
I've already changed the skill tree about 10 times – I can't seem to finalize what and where it should be :D. The version on the first page is very old; I'll post a newer version later. For now, here's the calculation for some Chaos spells. I liked Nargott's idea of differentiating the principles of magic calculation by element, and I've done just that:

What do humans, elves, demons, etc., have to do with it?

As I understand it, the idea is to tie an element to a race. I just wanted to separate the damage calculation by elements. I don't see much point in tying it to a Faction – this applies to Chaos, but for example, it’s completely irrelevant for this Knight.

6) Question for Nargott. What final version of the skills wheel do you envision?

It's not relevant for Humans; both water and air spells are decent at low levels. But the skill level and high/low magic affinity make a noticeable difference. When it's not advantageous for demons to use fire, and it is advantageous for undead.

Guardian Angel is a Human special ability in Heroes of Might and Magic (although initially, Mentor was planned as the special ability). There can be no talk of any additional effects in combat (technically). But in Heroes of Might and Magic, the ability works stronger because there is much less "meat," effectively raising an entire stack. Plus, the hero also learns resurrection. And after each battle, losses are reduced by half (the idea was borrowed from the racial Human ability in Heroes of Might and Magic IV).

Okay, I understand – I’ll keep that in mind.

So, is the change to the Guardian Angel skill already ready?
If it is, please share it – I’ll add it to my mod (I’ll be very grateful). By the way, did you want to implement the “Elven Ritual” ability – is it ready?

Why can’t it? It can – in the form of some kind of buff. For example, as a built-in Regeneration.

By the way, the Orc’s special ability is simply “useless” because it just adds Fury points, which are also added by cities and Blood Memory. In my old modding experiments, I made Pure Fury a regular perk (naturally, reducing the Fury gain from 500 to 200). And I used General Support as the Orc’s special ability. Which, indeed, looks creepy, especially under Krag.

No, it's just on paper for now; there's no implementation yet.

Built-in regeneration? General Support? It's unlikely that such tricks will work in multiplayer (combat scripts don't work).

It’s not relevant for Humans; both water and air are decent low-level spells (although air is closer to the lore). But when it comes to skill gradation + high/low magic, you can definitely feel the difference. When using fire becomes disadvantageous for demons, but advantageous for undead.

My vision of the wheel is in the Wargame Edition topic.
Specifically, posts 1 and 2

Guardian Angel is the Human special unit in WGE (although initially Mentor was planned as the special unit). There can be no talk of any additional effects in combat (technically). But in WGE, the ability works stronger because there is much less "meat," effectively raising an entire stack. Plus, the hero also learns resurrection. And after each battle, losses are halved (the idea was borrowed from the racial human in G4).

Are you referring to "Elven Ritual," as I understand it? And has the guardian angel been reworked, or is it still just on paper?

This isn't a combat script. It's a buff built into the skill.

I don't see the point in increasing the number of skill levels and the number of abilities from 3 to 4 – in general, if we don't consider the deliberate lengthening of the game, I don't remember ever being able to fill all the free skill and ability slots (personally, I only did this in campaigns, and not even in all of them), and in multiplayer, even reaching level 25 is a rare occurrence.
