This has also had the consequence of reducing the numbers of these existing types:

**Construct** (4 available)  
**Wildfolk** (8 available)  
**Marauder** - removed, as mentioned officially

* * *

So while Mystic got an admirable number of troops to work with, the rest of those troop types are largely being constricted as a result of there just being too many types (or rather, not enough troops), reducing the lot of them to an Elf- or Dwarf-like level of viability. Obviously I disapprove of this.

* * *

> Dual Types

The dual typing appears to all be good news though - here is a list (excepting those resulting from new types being applied):

Archon Statue - Divine/Construct  
Boar Rider - Goblin/Beast  
Bone Dragon - Undead/Dragon  
Celestasia - Divine/Dragon  
Creeper - Daemon/Monster  
Crimson Bat - Undead/Monster  
Deep Borer - Mech/Dwarf  
Drake Rider - Orc/Dragon  
Flesh Golem - Undead/Construct  
Goblin Rocket - Goblin/Mech  
Golem - Monster/Construct  
Gorgon - Tauros/Monster  
Green Slime - Elemental/Monster  
Hellcat - Daemon/Beast  
Hellhound - Daemon/Beast  
Jarl Firemantle - Elemental/Giant  
Kerberos - Daemon/Beast  
Morthani’s Will - Divine/Undead  
Nympth - Fey/Elemental  
Owlbear - Beast/Monster  
Paladin - Divine/Knight  
Plague - Daemon/Fey  
Priestess - Divine/Human  
Sacred Guardian - Divine/Beast  
Salamander - Elemental/Beast  
Sea Troll - Elemental/Giant  
Siren - Fey/Elemental  
Spider Queen - Elf/Daemon  
Spirit Fox - Fey/Beast  
Stone Giant - Elemental/Giant  
Winter Wolf - Elemental/Beast  
Zephyros - Elemental/Giant

Additionally, basically everything that was a Knight before, or you thought should be, is now a dual-type with Knight. i.e. Alastair and Grave Knight are Undead/Knights, there are tons of Human/Knights, Griffon Rider is Knight/Beast, and so on. There are also now 18 of them, so a major buff for Knights.

Similarly, Beasts now number 24. Elementals number 19. Fey 17. Divine managed to climb to 9.

* * *

I’ll add to this later if I get anything but for now I’m going to go run amok with some new 4x 4x bonus teams.

I assume they opted make the races relatively rare but the classes pretty common so it’s easier to get 1 type bonus but difficult to get 2 (but will become easier over time). Don’t want too many Kingdom/Double-Type combos. From what I can tell, only Knights really have the triple-threat option.
