Yes it sure is, and it's not all the main features of the project.
(unfortunately it's gained at a price of a slight loss of compatibility with heavy scripted maps, but it's not serious)
Howerver, as i said we could not find a man who can provide some binary file tweaking for the project.(or at least give some tips to help me do this stuff). As i've said alrady we are interested at least in some additional skill id's (the way analogous to ncf project and this project).
Well, i don't want to bother anyone if it's a time consuming task, but we would really appreciate the effort.

Well, if no one is interested you may consider my previous posts as offtop and delete.
And giving my 5 cents to the project:
1. Already told about barbarian luck
2. You also may consider adding script mod to your project adding even more diversity to the classes this way.

A Tournament editon for TOE? sound interesting, but is there a thread somewhere around the internet with more details about the project (don't care if it is foreign language). If you are looking for someone who is able (and willing!) to implement such complex changes in the exe file, I'm afraid you won't find him here, actually I don't think you will find him anywhere. The problem with map scripts is the changes will not extent to random generated maps. Including all the reworked multiplayer maps is not a problem, in fact my current class mod already does it to unlock the heroes.

Yes this mod is being developed for quite a long time already, some tournaments were already played on it's previous version. (you can check its main thread on heroesleague.ru forums heroes 5 section, if you read russian, of course). I'm planning to create thread on this forum, once next release will be out.
And about map scripts, you are almost right, but you have to rework map only if it doesn't have it's own script, ie it's <MapScript> tag in map.xdb is empty. Funny thing is that to make script mod work you have to add there any href (even href to non existent file work).
So it's easy to correct each map that way (we are thinking about the tool that will do that automatically: unpack map, check if MapScript is empty, and if it's empty place dummy href there and pack again). If you want to play random map in multiplayer you will have to leave game anyway to send map to friend, so it's not a problem to modify one line in map.xdb there.
And also new IRMG random map generator (from version 1.20 i think) generates maps with enabled scripts (not empty MapScript tag) to make maps compatible right away.
Another strange thig is that you don't have to do anything to make script mod work in single player, no matter what map you play.
PS: I know it's difficult to find person able to modify exe, but this forum people added ids for cretures, added ids for classes, i was just curious how hard is it to add ids for skills same way.
PS2: Have you tried MegaAI mod, it's also a script mod and it's quite popular (at least among russian players). It resembles your Classic AI mod in terms of tweaking defaultstats.xdb, but also provides some additional advantages for AI throught scripts.

I found the thread, I'm able to read it roughly with google translate , however the features of the mod do not seem to be shown on the first post, only download links, but they don't work for me.

If you only need skills to be unlocked that should be possible, but I can't do it. I actually thought there are more hex-editors in the russian community then here.

Yes I know about, but I couldn't figure out what the scripts do, could you tell me? aside from the scripts it lacks features compared to the advanced Ai for 3.1, like the massive treasure building overhaul and having 'normal' difficulty as the lowest. Merging both mods could lead to an even better Ai mod.

There are a link with file containing all the changes, but it's actually dead by now (server recently moved to a new hosting and they probably haven't restored it fully yet, i hope it would be back soon)

Mod main page is (http://all4heroes.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=166), however i think you won't find full feture list there.
What it does (I am not the creator, so i may forget something):
1. Traditional priorities tweaking in defaultstats.xdb (i wonder if this thing actually works  )
2. Changes skills priorities for AI in skills.xbd (making AI hero pick skills he can use)
3. And about script part:
a. Makes AI hire heroes only of it's own race
b. Gives some experience bonus to AI
c. Gives some additional creatures to AI
d. Gives some additional stats to AI main hero
e. Makes defeated AI main hero stay in AI's tavern, so he won't be lost
f. Makes AI heroes visit Spell Library once they can buy something usefull there
g. Fixes (in some sense) bug with deflection spell (by giving AI hero mass spell version once he has basic)
and probably some more things i can't come up with now...

I wonder if this actually works, the strange thing is with 3.0 all skills for barbarian were set to 0, making me belief it is handled from somewhere else since 3.1/3.0. For the dual class mod, I did a lot of tweaking anyway, just to be sure I used an opportunity for improvement.

Just for proper forum organization, I would like to announce that this thread can be unsticked. At least I'm no longer working actively on a dual classes project, and that very likely means nobody does. I have recently worked out some new ideas for a class system that can be created without having the balance/technical issues from this one. The thread can be found here:
Faction independent class system
At this point I cannot promise the mod will be created but ideas are always welcome.

Good to see people are still interested, but the mod is not cancelled.
I'm working on a new one as stated in my earlier post.

I did what I mostly do with mods: unrar them and look inside.
I couldn't find anything that can help me develop my new project further.
