UNIT TYPES
Shieldbearers - The name is self explanatory they are units that carry shields :)
These units have great defence are strong against Archers,Infantry and Pikemen.They are weak to Siege,Hero and Flame.
Units in this class include - Gondor Tower Guard,Isengard Uruk Heavy,Dwarf Heavy,Mithlond Guard,Lorien Guard,Morgul Orc Heavy,Soldiers of Rhun.
Support - Support units are units that provide some support to units in battle they don't usually fight so never send them off alone.
Their support can vary from Fear to Leadership to Healing.
Units in this class include:- Haradrim Mahud,Rohan Hornblowers,Elven Maidens,Elven Hornblowers and the Elven Lightbearer.
Stealth/Scouts - These units are straight foward they provide recon and detect stealth units these are great in Early game to get advanced notice of attacks.
Only a couple of the Scout/Stealth units can fight they are generally single units and have low health and poor armor.
Units in this class include :- Dunedain Scouts,Wraiths,Druadan.
Elite - Elite units are strong units in the faction often fight alone or in pairs,most often they are Infantry units.
They have higher health,armor and attack then other units and are excellent to support heroes or an invading Army.
Units in this class include :- Dragonslayer,Isengard Berserkers,Far Harad Berserkers,Durins' Guards,Lady Guards,Battle Troll,Olag Hai,Rhun Slashers.
NEW PLOTS
HAVENS
Also known as "Forts" or "Strongholds" they are very valuable Structures that are basically a Camp squeezed into one Structure.
Providing resources,Healing nearby units,sometimes with defences like Walls,Archers and special abilities like Horns to stun nearby enemies.
They also build exclusive units and heroes.Some factions have 2 different haven buildings providing different purposes.
WATCHTOWERS - Watchtower plots allow you to build a Watchtower to attack enemies nearby and provide Recon.
The plots are often placed in key places such as near forests or along paths to harry enemies.

I'll update when I have a more complete list.
