that each special will be unique... if that is true how can there be more than one spellcasters?
Each spellcaster will have an own unique spellbook. Ex: Nightmares will be able to cast fear on an enemy stack causing the stack to lose his turn...

Now, I don't know if you know this...
but every creature will retaliate unlimited times. Like the Royal Griffins in h3.

Where have you heard/seen this?
This is the kind of stuff you would expect to be mentioned in the prievews. There's alot of changes in how retaliation works but this is the first time I've heard of this change.
Unlimited retaliations sounds like a bad idea to me. Ganging up on a stack is a big part of the strategy, and I wouldn't want to see it go 
In fact, sounds like a better idea if they dropped the retaliation altogether. That's usually how things work out...
What the defender usually gets is the chance to block the first blow, and is then a sitting duck for the second blow. So even one full retaliation is very generous.
If they introduce this would anyone ever want to split a stack in two? (Two retaliations on your attacks instead of one? Which means losing almost twice the number of creatures?)

It is in one of the previews. I don't remember which, but are you sure you checked all interviews on hmm4.com?

About the Peasant speciality
Well, if the Peasant really looks like this:
then Wyvern's suggestion of "falling asleep" speciality would fit in well!

Peasant's Specialty: a warped idea
When I look at the peasant, one thought that crosses my mind (other than the fact that I swear I know this guy ..it's my ex brother-in-law at an SCA event) is:
"Gawd, I'm lucky not to be that sad sack of ... "
Then it hit me. We're pretty sure the Leprechaun can increase luck on his side. What if the peasant can make his own miserable luck rub off on his opponents? Remember that in H4, decreased luck increases the damage you take. Maybe that's the secret ..that cloud of gloom that seems to be hanging over this poor schnook's head can affect an enemy he engages in direct combat! Maybe minus one to luck for every 500 peasants?
Naw ... it's probably something to do with turnips ....
