What exactly counts as an animal & humanoid? And other questions.

Also, Dragonflies are (for some artifacts and spells) affected as dragons, guess they are related.

Dragonflies = Insects, Spiders=Aracnids xDDDDD.

The bonuses affects level 2+ troops as i remember.

Its weird that the precision spell affects cyclops, cuz cyclops are sniper creatures (same damage on melee and range and no distance penalty) and should not be considered archers at all.

Dragonflies are both animals and dragons I think. I'm not 100% certain, but I know a lot of dragon things effect them.

Spiders are also animals.

All insects and arachnids are animals, afterall. (Though, so would humans, but I think it is more obviously different).

Heh, I knew that, I am a zoologist. Though of course real-life dragonflies are "somewhat" different (they do not spew acid, for example). The dragonflies in KB seem to be a mixture of reptile and insect...

Odd that Cyclops is affected by precision...

Another odd distinction is that Magic Lock is an ability that affects the target's mind, apparently. So while the Necromancer's Magic Lock works on some level 5 units, it won't work on the likes of dragons or the Cyclops.
