Not sure what's wrong, but I also cannot download the file through the vanilla launcher. Added a workaround using SteamCMD to the description.

Is there another mod or mod manager that needs to be installed to use this mod? I doesn't show up in my launcher or function in game, despite appearing to be enabled in the game's properties.

why is this not showing up in the mod manager after i subscribe?

No, the changes apply to the base level scaling. Lords get more points than Heros, but they are accelerated as well. There is a 1% HP/lvl dump skill if you run out of interesting things to put points in.

I'm about to try this one out, is skill points only for player? or do ai factions get it too?
