Shattered Kingdoms

I don't recall this being addressed earlier, but the change to [skill improvements] as per player suggestions, was this changed for the better, making it easier to master, or slightly longer? Also, do defenses, other than shield block, gain betters for making mistakes? I am curious if it is my bad luck, or the code that is causing the longer intermissions between betters.

There wasn't a universal boost or nerf to all skill improvements. Awhile back, I created a Google Spreadsheet that listed most of the skills in the game. Then I posted a thread inviting any players who had played the game recently to rate those skills on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 = skill improves way too slow and 10 = skill improves way too fast. About eight people responded. Based on their average response, I tweaked various skills either upward or downward.
