MYTH II UNIT FIELD GUIDE — LOCAL READING LAYER
Recorded: 2026-09-16
Purpose: A readable guide to roles, battlefield use, and corrected presentation labels. It is not a complete stat sheet.

LIGHT UNITS — DOCUMENTED ROLES
Warrior: human infantry line and ordinary front line.
Berserk: fast heavy melee for pressure or flanking; disengage before isolation.
Bowman: human ranged militia; needs a clear firing lane and protection.
Dwarf: explosives specialist; bottles and satchel charges require separation and a retreat lane.
Journeyman: healing support and melee; protect its utility.
Myrmidon: heavy Light melee fighter; keep history separate from unpaired visual studies.

DARK AND UNDEAD — DOCUMENTED ROLES UNLESS MARKED
Brigand: Dark human infantry.
Ghôl: Dark scavenger and thrown-debris unit.
Fetch: electricity attacker; exact spell behavior remains source-bound.
Soulless: floating undead javelin unit.
Thrall: slow reanimated axe infantry.
Wight: gas-filled explosive corpse.
Myrk / Myrkridia: flesh-eating race imprisoned in the Tain; fast-melee description is a strategy-guide cross-check.
Shade: reanimated sorcerer; spell details remain source-bound.
Mortar Dwarf: erratic area-fire specialist.
Ghast: UNKNOWN provisional uncaptioned visual match.

CORRECTED PRESENTATION LABELS
WIGHT plate -> working identity Soulless: OBSERVED user-supplied correction; canonical tag/sprite/palette still open.
Ghoul plate -> working identity Myrk / Myrkridia: OBSERVED user-supplied correction; canonical pairing still open.
Thrall plate -> working identity Ghast: OBSERVED user-supplied correction; canonical pairing still open and Ghast remains unknown.
These are presentation mappings, not canonical asset proof.

FIELD-USE RULES — PRACTICAL GUIDANCE
Keep melee between enemies and ranged/support. Give explosives a separate lane and retreat space. Use terrain and elevation. Spread against Wights and area threats. Preserve veterans and do not chase beyond support range.

PROVENANCE
Consolidated from C:\Myth2Bot\knowledge\units\*.md, unit_roles.md, the local strategy-guide cross-check, and the unit identity ledger. Canonical pairing remains an open evidence task.
