Warrior General Games

I don't get them..

Literally everything. They change the max of every skill your player has and - from what I understand - how expensive each skill is to increase.

They heavily impact the caps that are set on your players future skills. For instance, if you max out speed at 10, your player will have a very high cap (at or near 100). So you have to think positionally. If you want a power RB, maybe you put a lot of skill points into strength and speed, while neglecting agility a bit. That's my super general understanding.

Yup pretty much this.
