The Haven's unique special ability, as shown in the GameSpot updated hands-on.

So we can only have 6 different skills? Ah better get used to it, there is less skills in H5 than in H3 and that explains why we can choose 2 less than in H3 :)

The hero model of Isabel is pretty nice too :D

Yeah, but you can have some 25 secondary skills.

I like the idea of what the Counterstrike skill does though...

Interesting :tsup:

I think sometimes in the past games Haven has been weak compared to opponents and allies and therefore I think it's great that they get an advantage.

I think many of you willl disagree with my saying that Haven seems weak but it is an opinion of mine because I can't control them and win.
Got lots to learn :)

What does "counterstrike" have to do with upgrading troops?

There's a bonus to retaliation as well. I guess that's where the counterstrike is.

I understand why it's called counterstrike. but naming it that way whereas the description makes the retaliation sound like a bonus and not a main feat... kinda confusing.

Well i'm inclined to belive that initialy they were 2 different skills, and when they merged them they kept Counterstrike as a name but considered the training part more important so they wrote it first.

Hey anybody knows what happened to the battlefield background that we've seen on the first screenshots of the game??? I really liked them...
