Number Five brings stealth in the AOF world and it smacks!
Ratmen can become invisible but also go underground and tunnel through, which brings a lot of new ways to slay or be slane ^^
The Rat Faction is pretty fun to play around with as you have to avoid frontal engagements and seek lone targets (as best possible).
The fact that you can use Ambush (deploy area becomes huge if all party members have an invisible trick) is a game changer.
There are also tools to fight against sneaky units with both passive and active skills that break invisibility.
Indulf the Black Knight and Lexa the Witch have a great dynamic and come with their own Hero tricks.
Other new feature landing with Five is delayed spells, new spells with large areas of effect but they take a full turn to cast, quite fun to set up and deadly when used right.
All this will slowly be integrated into the otherr AOF games, as always and forever.
