NWU future plans
I would like to allow NWU players more customization with their heroes, allowing more tactics and uniqueness to each hero.
The next update, version 1.5.0 (release pending August probably), has a Talent Tree system under consideration.
It will be very time consuming to implement and balance so we will see.
