Adding Skills

The only prerequisite you have to fill when adding abilities is that the hero already knows the corresponding skill.

All the other usual rules do not apply: you can learn advanced abilities without knowing their prerequisites, you can learn skills and abilities usually not accessible to your faction, you can learn more than 6 skills and 3 abilities per skills (they won't be visible on the skill panel, but you will get the benefits).

When you input the command to learn a skill (not an ability) that you don't know yet, you learn it at Basic level. Type the command again to learn the upper skill levels (Advanced, Expert, and Ultimate for the unique racial skills). Each time you input it, you will gain a level in the skill, until you reach the maximum.

The simple way (disabled in 1.2)

add_skill (#)

So, for example:

add_skill 15

...gives you Necromancy.

add_skill 19

...gives Pathfinding (ability of Logistics).

The @ Variant: Adding Skills

With the latest patch, version 1.2 has disabled all non-@ Command codes. Where it was once relatively easy to add_skills to any selected hero, you'll now have to tackle the more difficult syntax and chart referencing of the @ variant.

For example:

@GiveHeroSkill("Linaas", SKILL_ABSOLUTE_LUCK);
OR @GiveHeroSkill("Linaas", 124);

...gives the Sylvan hero Wyngaal his ultimate ability, Nature's Luck.

So, the code is:

@GiveHeroSkill("Name", SKILL_NAME);
OR @GiveHeroSkill("Name", #);

The text and # codes are given in the table below.

Note: to effectively use this code, it is essential to refer to the Hero Names Chart.

Skill Names / Numbers Chart

The abilities are grouped by skills. The common skills are sorted alphabetically, after the 6 racial skills displayed first, sorted in hero aplhabetical order. The racial absolute abilities are displayed in bold and listed last in the corresponding skill.
