Advanced Classes Mod 1.06
The new version is ready. I have not much to say, initially I wanted to stop the development of the mod after the 1.05 version but I still receive so much positive feedback that keeps me motivated:

Haven't played WOG since 2010 and even though i felt a bit conservative at first (i thought these changes would be too "abrupt" and would destroy the game for what it is) - i actually love it in whole!
Thanks to everyone who helps in keeping the HOMM spirit alive!

EDIT (update after +50 hours of gameplay):

LOVING IT MORE AND MORE!
The new leveling up system both for the skills and the spells is awesome and makes the grind feel very rewarding.
I have to admit, the old-style gameplay got pretty boring especially on XL maps, but with this mod, you can still grind 8 hours on the same map and still feel like you want more. AWESOMELY done!
The AI is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G because of the numerous difficulty options. It always felt either too easy or too hard for me with the "default" options, but now there is sooooo much versatility that it finally satisfies me in full!
