Each unit belongs to a unit type that defines its role on the battlefield. A type gives certain strenghts and weaknesses when facing other types.

Melee units move and fight on foot using hand-to-hand weapons. They can carry a variety of weapons such as swords, daggers, and axes. True masters in close combat that can dispose of spear and ranged units with ease if they get near them. Still, being slow, they are an easy target for ranged and fast-moving cavalry units. Melee units are a good addition for a combined arms approach and are usually low cost. 

Spear units are equipped with long or short spears. They are a common sight on the battlefield and the backbone of your army. But don’t be fooled, some spear wielders are veterans of many wars and will dispose of any cavalry unit with ease. Just don’t try to win a fight against a melee unit as their sword can cut spears in half. Their slow speed makes spear units an easy target for ranged attacks so watch out for those arrows. Spear units are a must-have in each army, they provide low-cost units for your army.

Ranged units use arrows or magic to shoot at their enemies, allowing them to attack from a distance. They are perfect to weaken approaching units, but they have difficulty attacking cavalry units. So, make sure to keep the ranged unit safe with a wall of spearmen or melee units in front of them while you attack the enemy from afar. Ranged units are slightly more expensive than melee or spear units but their attack range greatly makes up for it.

Cavalry units ride into battle on horses but they can also use chariots, centaurs and even dragons. They are perfect to conquer objective buildings far from your deployment zone and can surprise a lonely enemy unit with their high speed and initiative. However, try to avoid forests and nasty spear units, they don’t like branches and pointy sticks. In the game cavalry units have one extra movement point however forests are more difficult for them to enter. In general, they are more expensive to field than the other types.

Each tale has its legends; we have multiple. Legends can be legendary heroes or mythical creatures of ancient times. They are the best fighters or mages in the game and have the most powerful and unique of all the Mythos abilities. Most units don’t have a chance against their divine attributes. Legends are the most expensive units to field and need to be unique in your army.

More types will be introduced at later stages, creating new challenges and mechanics.
