Skills
Since the skill system of HoMM4 worked quite well, except for the combat skill, I'll leave most of it as it is. However, I am eliminating the stealth skill, since it hardly added to the strategic value of the game. The old tactics and combat skills have been put together to form one primary skill based on attack and another, based on defense.
