^ A skill wheel, in this context, is nothing but a visual representation of the dynamics built in the game. It will not change anything, other than potentially help the player make more informed skill/perk selection decisions.
I read your comment on MMH5.5 on the other thread too. Man, you really gotta try it. Most of your concerns on how skills picking themselves and having limited number of viable builds, etc. are solved. You can pretty much play any faction with any feel: from Crag Hack to Zehir  This is naturally excluding Stronghold, but even they have some internal variability now...

@Gidoza: you reject H55 in the other thread and then you write down in this one all fundamental flaws of H5 that were the reason to make H55
3. is by the way good example of how a balance issue can only be solved properly with a big new feature: might and magic classes.

Okay, I'm starting to be intrigued. I'm not aiming to be oppositional - I'm often just very skeptical of mods whereby a whole pile of stuff gets changed, the graphics are different, and it doesn't feel like the same game anymore. In the past I've developed mods for games specifically to undo stuff modders did in a mod that went too far.
However, if you haven't done this, and I happen to like what I see, then you have at your disposal a feverous tester and observational critic.
As for the new feature of might and magic heroes...it existed in heroes 3, so I guess I can accept this change. (No, really...I will criticize every last thing that I see if I enter in to this.  )
Thanks!

Looking great! Two bug reports for you
1) Death Knight's Leadership skill perks seem to be messed up.
2) Stronghold Heroes' skill acquisition probabilities are wrong. You used the same probabilities as other factions, but they're different for Stronghold.
By the way, nice touch deleting the three perks unobtainable by Stronghold heroes! Doing the same for the in-game skill wheel

No, it is not messed up. This is how it is for Necros by design.
How come? Necros cannot learn "Encourage"? I don't mind, but I don't see that written anywhere... Not even in the Appendix.

Oh, so we're doing that now: Removing the perks with prereqs that cannot be satisfied by design.
I totally support this, but you guys (magno and dredknight) should really be more vocal about these implementations. I mean, I'm trying to design a skill wheel too...

I missed that. I was assuming the Appendix special-cases were all of it...

No, I know, I'm learning as I go, but the situation about learning skills outside the 12 and what happens to non-satiable prereqs hasn't been clear. I mean, it's not possible to understand what the running assumption/intention is by just looking at the current documentation (in-game manual, etc).
For example, as you know from the main thread, I had first assumed that it was OK to learn other skills (than the 12) and I was considering not including the relevant ones on the skill wheel a "bug" but it turns out the fact that any other skill can be learnt is the "bug"...
Anyway, as I said, I'm learning the detailed design intentions as I go, and sometimes I'm blind-sided with new discoveries

It was solved in version 40 but from the latest talk in the mod thread magno will remove the requirement for the next release so I added twilight back to all classes that has Light magic.
Anyways, the special Knights has the similar problem as barbarians of having 13 skills. If I solve the 13 skills issue everything else will fit easily.
