You can unlock special abilities and tactics via the skill tree. Abilities can be used in the keep, tactics will be used for battles.

Abilities

Abilities are time-limited effects for the habitat and can be activated in the abilities view of the keep. You need to unlock at least one ability before you can use it in the abilities view.
Each ability has an effect time (the time the bonus affects the habitat) and a cooldown time (the time the player cannot use the ability after the effect time).

Some abilities have an instant effect. The effect time (also called block time) for these abilities only block the activation of another ability in a short time period.

Generally: It is only possible to have one ability active / blocked at once.


Tactics

Tactics will be used for battles. You can select the tactic you want to use as long as it is not on cooldown. The effect of each tactic is only available for the selected battle.

Generally: It is only possible to use up to two tactics per battle (provided that you already enabled the usage of a second tactic in the skill tree).
