Big update to the mod!
I included some of the features ELCP features in the skill trees. This mod is of course still compatible with ELCP.
I trimmed down a lot of skills from 3 to 2 or even 2 to 1 points - this does impact the total amount of power a very high level hero can have, but aside from rarely reaching that point, you are already powerful enough at that point. Every skillpoint should feel a bit more valuable now and putting 2 points into some skills should also be an actual option.

Morgawr and Roving Clans Heroes should be actually good spies now. I did change the positioning of their spy skills in their faction trees to allow them to reach the espionage skill in the common tree much more easily and buffed them up. Morgawr gain a massive +6 infiltration points on a single skill, which actually makes them better spies than Forgotten, until their Seniority Bonus kicks in. Roving Clans gain +8xp per turn while spying, which should help them level up quickly and be very efficient part-time spies. With Ownership recovery rate and reduced military production costs, they should make for versatile "frontline governors", as I like to call them.

Did a big pass on both the Flying and Haunt skill trees. Frankly, I believe Eslek was just a bit overpowered as he was. He should still be powerful both as an army leader(especially on a flying squad) and as a top tier science governor.

Forgotten get a few combat boni to their Hero from their spying skills as well as their army tree. You should feel encouraged to use them as stealthy solo explorers!

I condensed a few points in the underused Common tree into just a single point, to make them be a bit more impactful. New Thrifty especially is quite good, but not easily reachable by everyone.

Allayi should be even better at being winter governors/winter explorers. If you time it well, you can put them into a city right before winter starts to reactivate ruins with their new skill, Winter Solstice. And during winter only, Winter Solstice grants a massive improvement on ruin-search chances.

And lastly, I did a lot of work on skill connections and positionings.

I hope you all have fun with the changes. Feedback is always appreciated. And here go the details~
