1. More balanced creatures (so obvious dude
)2. Better hero classes (yes... but wait, take a look at 3 first)
3. New Primary Skill (and secondary ones of course)

Q&A
Q: Duh, this is just combat with little changes
A: Yes... but its more interesting?
Q: This is not balanced at all
A: Yes. nothing is balanced at first and also that's why you are here. Help me balance it.
Q: Some power ups for creatures could have been nice...
A: I was thinking of the same thing
Q: I don't like skill names
A: This is just an idea. Why bother
Q: Yo Dude, Why do you keep calling dem barbarians? It should be Might or Stronghold.
A:
Q: How will this go with combat? wouldn't it completely overpowered?
A: Let me explain. Lets say a hero has both combat and battle-hardened. Then the ranged and melee defense of the one that is higher will in full effect while hero will only gain half of the melee and ranged defense of the one that is lower
Eg: Grandmaster Combat and Battle-Hardened, 60 and 50. since 50 is lower only half of it will work. So 60 + 25 = 85
If hero has both Magic Resistance and Counter Magic the resistance of higher one will only be in effect.
Q: Combat (magic resistance) is likely to get future changes
A :
Q: This isn't Q&A. This is "I think you will say this" and your reply for it.
A: Ahh, you figured it out.
