Not entirely. It's an overview of all the attribute fields that make up Heroes in general. The game code refers to these fields to figure out a lot of things (like in combat, it uses those fields to find out which creatures the Hero carries and which Artifact alter stats and the like).

I hope to modify the speed increase of sir mullich's speciality.

offset 0x00279aa0

05 00 00 00 02 00 00 00
(speed)     (increase)

maybe 02 means +2 speed increase.
but it doesn't work even though i put there number 0.
it always +2 regardless of any number.

anyone knows how to modify this?

That's because the '02' points to what it's effecting (in this case, 02 means it affects Creatures, apparently). Since Sir Mulich is the only one with this Hero Specialty type (05), it's hard to tell what values other than 02 would affect.

I might be able to find this in the source code, but seeing the time at the moment I am writing this, I am not going to explore that one now. Maybe I'll have time for it tomorrow.

I guess Sir Mullich would be fair with +1 speed, still a kinda boring speciality though.

No offense, but you must be absolutely insane, Logistics speciality is the best speciality in the game.

Is not insane at all, it depends why you want it.  

Unfortunately, after the 12th month in game, the probability AI heroes freeze is multiplied and the game will be over without possibility to avoid. And most godly maps have that problem. So faster you move, more chances to be able to finish the map you have.

It can be done, but it's a slight bit awkward. The code at 0x000E4F1Ch - 0x000E4F21h (4 bytes) holds the hex value of E4 EA 63 00. This is in Little Endian, least significant bit first, so for human readability the value should be read as 00 63 EA E4. This is a pointer to a data value, held at location 0x0023EAE4h (keep in mind that when data from within the .exe is loaded into runtime memory, 0x00400000h is added to the actual location -> 0x0023EAE4h then becomes 0x0063EAE4h, the value above).

The data read at that referenced location is 4 bytes in size and holds the byte string CD CC 4C 3D. Once again writing it in human readable order, we get 3D 4C CC CD. This is the hexadecimal 32-bit floating point representation of the value 0.05. It's this value that is multiplied for Heroes with the Logistics specialty, with the bonus of their Logistics skill. However, it's also the value used for other skill Specialists. As such, changing this particular value would also affect all other skill Specialists. That's not what you have in mind, I guess.

Luckily, you can simply let the Logistics specialty pointer point to another address location instead, as there's a table just above this particular value, that indicates the bonus applied through various skills themselves. You can simply use one of those. It does limit your options, but they should be wide enough to suit your needs.

Specifics

To get a different value, look at the table below and find one that suits your needs. Find the 4 bytes located from address 0x000E4F1Ch, which are E4 EA 63 00 and change those 4 bytes to ...

5% bonus

0C EA 63 00 - This is the 5% from the Tier 1 Armorer Skill

Upgrade

Hello
I have an idea to increase the value of  movement from 1 to 3 for special units on heroes like Valeska, Edric etc.

Sir Mulich have +2 speed to ALL units -> too much, but Valeska, Edric have +1 speed to ONLY 1 UNIT -> to weak I think.
I try find in http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=42152&pagenumber=2
But I Can’t do it  or I did wrong 

The Guide:

Some Values:
