The only things that are ancients are the NE buildings that can uproot and such. Regular units cannot be ancients.

I thought dead meant only corpses, as zombies are 'un'dead :p

Player Units means just that player's units.

For invulnearable - you can set that as an armor value too, but when you do, you don't become invulnearable, merely untargetable and unaffectable by any other targeting type. I assume that invulnearable applies to that armor value as well (the values are the same, check it out :p). I believe decoration applies to doodads like torches, rocks, and plants (not trees). Wall applies to the stone wall doodad, I believe.

Hover is still classified as ground, I think (sorceress is hover, right? She seems to glide over the terrain ...)...

I wasn't sure about hover so maybe it does count as ground.

Roshan in DotA is classified as an ancient so untis can be.

Player Units was just what I wanted to know thx.

Invuvnerable should be farily self obvious but impossible to ward.

Movement type and targetted as are completely different.

You can have a flying unit be targeted as ground. In game normally hove is targeted as ground though.
