Okay, so the changes here are small, but subtle enough that I was having trouble making the point math work last week, though after focusing on other stuff this weekend I finally figured it out. Because Born War Leader now adds to Connoisseur (Weapons), the game could drop the investment in that skill from 4 points to 2 (-2 point change) and still have the skill level increase from 11 to 12. These two extra points got spent raising Leadership a level (1 point) and increasing the number of optional skills from 4 to 5 (1 point). Speaking of optional skills, two options also got added: Fast Draw (any other) and Riding (Horse). In GURPS Dungeon Fantasy, the only way to get Riding (Horse) had been to spend a full 8 points on it, having it replace one of your melee weapon skill options.
