Combat skills
This or that skill can increase the accuracy of your hit/shot or the damage inflicted on the enemy, reduce some of the enemy's stats, allow you to give yourself medical treatment or choose a more suitable target for an attack in a group fight.
Skill upgrade is available on the page - "Character" → "Education" → "Combat skills".
The percentage of change in the characteristic in the skill description is counted from the resulting value of the characteristic. Let's say that a 10% increase in the accuracy of a clone with an accuracy of 30% and a worn sniper rifle with an accuracy of 25% means a 10% increase in the resulting accuracy:
As a result, we get the final accuracy, taking into account the skill:
.
"Hand-to-hand combat" means fighting with cold weapons or fists.
Note that some skills work in all battles, and some - only in battles between guards and robber and in tournaments, but do not work in battles with the common enemy (attacks of princely squads and bandit troops) and in the squads of cache thieves.
Gaining Skills
To give life to a plant is only possible by planting a sprout in fertile soil, and so it is in your case... You have to be trained to absorb the information and successfully use the skills in combat. So get your military knowledge, and I'll see how much skill you can handle.
I don't trade military knowledge for skills. All that matters to me is the total amount: the more knowledge you have, the more skills you can acquire.
Example: Let's say you have accumulated 10,000 knowledge of military affairs, then any of the skills will be available to you. If you got the skill "recidivist", then the rest of the skills can get to the total amount of knowledge:
If a skill was acquired with "temporary" martial knowledge, say, gained by wearing a magic artifact or jewelry, then after removing the magic item and reducing the clone's knowledge below the required amount, the acquired skills will be lost according to the general rules (see the chapter below under Skill Loss).
Learning skills is instant and free.
You can only learn 1 skill of each type. Some types of skills do not combine with each other - you can only get one of them.
After learning a skill, its picture is highlighted in green. If there are skills that are incompatible with one of those already learned, they will be highlighted in red, and you will not be able to learn them until you lose the incompatible skill.
You cannot gain skills during a battle that has already begun.
Losing Skills
You can lose a skill if you want and get another. You can lose a skill no sooner than 24 hours after receiving it. The loss of the skill is instantaneous, but after that for 24 hours the clone will be endowed with the skill "Distraction", that is, if he fights during this time interval, his health damage and probability to hit him will be 5% higher, the accuracy of his blows and the damage dealt to the enemy - 5% lower than the standard values.
If several skills are lost in a row, the days of "absent-mindedness" are counted from the moment the last skill is lost.
If a skill is lost, you can learn a new one if you have enough military knowledge.
