The Wargamer - Myth III Promotion

Myth II equipped its AI with about 13 Dark unit types and I'm sure you veteran Myth players know these minions all too well. There are at least 19 Dark unit types in Myth III. You can bet there will still be your old adversaries around to plague you with violence and death, but also expect some unknown and quite formidable baddies to pop up. Here's the forces of the Dark chart:

Unit Name	Myth II or Myth III	Strategic Importance of Unit
Brigands	II only	These units are human sword and shield warriors who serve the dark forces. They are a little slower than Light Warriors but otherwise are similar except... well, they're evil, either by nature or through manipulation or sorcery.
Dark Archers	II only	These are Bowmen, but fighting for the Dark side, with no differences.
Fetch	II only	Ugly, fast, and able to spew lightning, these gals you won't miss a bit. If it wasn't for their very short range of attack you might have been some thrall's dinner a while ago.
Ghasts	II only	Annoying... that's about all you can say about these Wights in the making. Though they may be numerous, they can't take any punishment and their close quarters attack does little damage. However, units struck by them become immobile temporarily, which can allow them to overwhelm enemies when they have a numerical advantage.
Ghôls	Both	These units almost look like demented monkeys, but they most certainly won't ask you for a banana. They are one of the fastest units in the game (equal to the Berserks' speed) and are excellent at hit-and-run attacks, hurling whatever objects may be lying around for them to pick up. Ranged units are the main counter-measure to keep Ghôls from eroding your army to death.
Ghôl Brutes	III only	These are the elite heavies of the Ghôls. Stronger, tougher, and fortunately, rarer than common Ghôls, these can give would-be Ghôl-chasers a nasty surprise. They are often assigned to escort the Ghôl Priests.
Ghôl Priests	III only	The Ghôl Priests have several powers. In combat they can invoke the Savage Wind Dream to launch debris at their enemies, and they can also magically heal their comrades. They are slower than other flavors of Ghôl.
Mauls	II only	These huge pig-like beasts brandish a delightfully spiked tree-trunk as a club. As long as you don't face a large number of these bumbling idiots, you can probably use their stupidity to make them take a few satchel charges before they get too close.
Shades	II only	Just when you thought your old pal Alric could save the day, these guys managed to pick up the same special powers. If you can get close enough, maul these guys with all you have. They can take a lot of hurt before they fall and if they get a Dispersal Dream out, run like the wind. They float over land but are unable to cross flowing water.
Soulless (Hollow Men)	Both	This half-solid unit floats over any part of the landscape while hurling poisoned barbed spears. Although they have slightly shorter range than bowmen, they can hover across deep water and up slopes and ground that walking units can't, to get height advantages to increase their range, and to prevent short-ranged units from hitting them. They are very vulnerable to explosive damage.
Stygian Knights	Both, but different	These are animated suits of armor. They have no normal human weaknesses, and are immune to arrows, but they have one important weakness: they are very vulnerable to explosive damage. Myth II versions carry massive battle axes, while Myth III versions carry very long polearms that cannot strike at close range. Send a Dwarf or two to hurl explosives at them, and hope it isn't raining.
Thrall	Both	I guess the Myth III developers couldn't bear to part with these guys. Clumsy, stupid, slow, and downright goofy, Thrall are the staple of the Dark side's army. These undead zombie warriors carry large axes and can walk or hide under water, or and sometimes conceal themselves under ground. Unfortunately their comic relief quickly wears off when faced with an unending army of them.
Wights	Both	These disease ridden walking infection bags only tote a small inconspicuous dagger. However, let them slice that beer belly open and you've just let out a gargantuan explosion of paralyzing pus, Wight style. Like Thrall, they are slow but can walk and hide underwater indefinitely. Their remains can be gathered and hurled by Ghôls.
The Forgotten	III only	These are immortal remnants of an ancient civilization that once lived in Forest Heart. There they wait with infinite patience for living prey to slay with a pair of iron blades.
Myrkridian Hunters	III only	Success has taken its toll on some of the Myrkridia at the time when the Myth III campaign game begins. The Myrkridian Hunters are slower and weaker than average, unused to serious opposition. They tend to avoid pitched battle, fighting as skirmishers and opportunists.
Myrkridia / Myrkridia Warriors	Both	These huge beasts are not only fast and deadly, but prone to some pretty crazy temper tantrums. If you think the 12-year-old brat next door is spoiled, wait till you see these guys attacking their own army when wounded. Use ranged attacks to soften them up and hopefully drive them mad, and pray that they are weak when they hit your infantry.
Giant Myrkridia	Both, but different	Picture a Myrkridia, only giant-sized, more powerful, and with the ability to hurl clusters of flaming skulls on your troops, or simply rip them to pieces at close range. You'd better hope Napoleon is sitting next to you when you run into one of these guys; they are not an easily toppled foe. In Myth III, they only throw one skull at a time… but the skull explodes when it strikes.
Myrkridia Pack - Mages	III only	These are rare bat-eared spell-casting Myrkridia, launching paralyzing lightning, but weaker in hand-to-hand combat than a Myrkridian Warrior.
Lyche	III only	These are the ghosts of drowned witches, given the opportunity for revenge by Bahl'al. They attack using a ranged spell that creeps across the landscape and then explodes.

Note: Shiver, Soulblighter, The Summoner, Moagim Reborn, and Bahl'al were omitted from this chart because they are more like characters than units.
