    Hey there everyone.

    I was just taking the time to ponder through my collection and decided to build a UD/SL Arthropod battle group since I knew that now Myx were arthropods since the update.

    What I found though is that even though there are currently 7 Race: Myx units in the game, of those units, only the Matriarch, Broodlord, Drone and Sandlion became Arthropods.

    Normally i'm one to accept this as a design decision but I can't seem to understand why the Adamant, Slasher and Spitter wouldn't be Arthropods and the others would.

    The only real reason I could think of this being an issue is Arthropod Frenzy or Pull: Arthropod and apart from the Slasher I really don't see this being an issue. Again, I could be wrong.

    So I guess my question is does anyone else think they should gain race: arthropod?

    Also, would it be out of line to suggest that Broodbond gave a boost to the unit when a pupae or egg hatched? It could even be temporary. But aside from the pupae and the queen the ability that is on all the Myx doesn't really effect anything after the hatching process is already done. Maybe it's perfectly balanced the way it is but when I play Myx I feel after the initial round of Pupae/Matriarch it doesn't end up coming up that often because I either win or lose on the initial hatching.

    If anyone disagrees feel free to chime in!

    Thanks,

    All Myx should be arthropod. Or no one.

    I agree it seems somewhat inconsistent. I few moments earlier actually posted a thread about arthropods but from a different perspective. It is still related to this topic:

    There is definitely 2 options: remove the arthropod race from all of the myx or add it to all of them. I support adding it to all of them but not adding creep and crawl because they have their own separate thing going.

    I feel as if fixing just these inconsistencies would go a long way towards helping new players and old players a like with making the game complex but not having to remember such specifics as, 'This Myx is an arthropod, this isn't.' as well as freeing up battle group building.
