Bonus Skill Points for Generals and Heroes (Prometheus Style)

Description
What the mod does
The mod simply gives bonus skill points to generals/lords and heroes. Generals/lords receive 2 points instead of 1 from levels 10-40 and heroes receive 2 points instead of 1 every 5 levels, starting at level 5. This means that, compared to vanilla, generals/lords receive 31 additional skill points overall and heroes receive 8 additional skill points overall.

I highly recommend using this together with my skill points dump mod because some characters end up with excess skill points with this mod (especially spellcasters that aren't lords).

Why I created it
Sadly, the updated version of Prometheus Skill Points Re-Renewed was suddenly taken down for some reason and the Workshop stubbornly refuses to let me download the outdated version still floating around.

So I watched some tutorials and remade it from scratch.

Compatibility
Compatible with any mod that does not edit the character_experience_skill_tiers_tables. So pretty much most mods with the exception of some overhauls (looking at you, SFO) and ANY other skill points mods.

This mod is save game compatible, but does not apply retroactively, so you won't get the bonus skill points you already "missed" if you start using it when you have already have a general at lvl 40 or something.

If you've previously been using the updated version of Prometheus' mod that was taken down, you can simply ignore the warning the game gives you about the missing mod and double-click on your savegame.

Credits
Credit for the original concept still belongs to Prometheus. All I did was pull the tables from the game, insert the number 2 a bunch of times and upload it.

Sidenote
I will always try to keep this updated, so there will be no need for "update pls" comments (even though it will probably never actually NEED an update). Please leave a comment if you run into any problems or have suggestions for other skill points or similarly simple mods.

@Camtheguy: The mod should be working just fine. The only time this mod would ever really need an update is if they actually went and changed the table that links hero types to experience/amounts of skill points per level by either adding, renaming or removing hero types - which afaik they have not done since the release of the game.

Do you have any other modes enabled that change the amount of experience points needed to level up, amount of levels available for characters or skill point distribution per level?

Technically, this should never require an update...But I've gone and "updated" it anyway.

@DarknesXAM: Heroes already gain only 7 additional skill points with this mod, toning it down further would kind of defeat the purpose of the mod. Skill points per level can only be set per hero TYPE and not for individual heroes AFAIK.

However, I have another mod available which gives all characters an additional skill that allows you to dump as many excess points as you want into it if that is what you are worried about. You can subscribe here: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1724700531

does this needs to be updated for dlcs?

certain heroes like kroak and the empire wizards end up with too many skill points by level 40, any chance you can tone down the bonus skill points for heroes?
