On the Master of Magic Wiki, an Attack Type describes the method by which any specific attack is delivered. The delivery method of an attack determines primarily when/where it can be used, and may also determine which immunities (if the target possesses any) will be triggered by the attack. The most common Attack Type is the Melee Attack, which most units can perform, and requires the attacker to be directly adjacent to its target. When one unit makes a Melee Attack against any target, that target often executes a Counter Attack in retaliation.
