My Lands: Black Gem Hunting

When my hero reached level 11 he only got one skill point. Usually he would get 2 skill points for each level. Is that normal? Should he have gotten 2 skill points?

Thank you

Every time my hero has leveled up I gained 2 training points including level 11 . Maybe you accident;y spent one while looking and trying to decide ? At level 11 your combined spells and skills should add up to 22 ....if your only showing 21 perhaps write to admins and see if they can figure out where the other point is

Each level gives you 2 skill points. Please be more attentive.

What type of Hero should I start with? By type I mean a wizard, or governor or strategist or whatever else they have.

it depends on what you need him for
