Similar to human assassin

infantry unit with 2 attacks. can become invisible and you an sacrifice it to kill a target

I dont know what to think about it.

It is a chichè in fantasy
I made this image on the spot but i might go for something like these:

cool idea! cool image!

I was thinking more of a Orc as I believe Goblins to be more of a cannon Fodder then a assasain

Goblin are perfect to be assassins. They are little, they are swift and light, they can move into the shadows easily

And annoying

Of course they are

Yup!

And they are not as good as meh! (XD)

they can sacrifice and kill

Honestly, I feel like orcs can already kill most units quite easily. The only real problem I have seen with orcs is when their opponent spams (aka towers, ships, wolves, etc).

However, I think this might be more useful now that we have imperial knights.

I agree!

An assassin would still be useful in some cases
also as a last option

This would be nice, especially when sabotage is in order.

Maybe this unit should just have 2 actions, and just be made for sabatoge, scouting, and stealing. The fact that it has 2 actions but sacrifices itself on attacking, sabatoging, or stealing makes no sense?

Probably do something like this:
Goblin Assassin:

Cost:4
Trains: goblin camp
Hp:10
Atk:4
Act:2
Rng:3
Sight:5
Spd:3 Invisible
Arm:0
P.arm:0
Res:0%
Abilities:
Sabatoge
Steal

Only effected by goblin shout upgrade.
No grenade
No elite and master upgrades.

Maybe make the coul reddish like this maybe?

Given them assassin like units it's probably not a good idea.

It won't instant kill enemies, just do up to 8 damage, no bonus. Main purpose is spying, sabatoge, and stealing. It doesn't have it as a ability like dwarves do were he can stand their and continually sabatoge, and steal the same enemies tech.

Sure the humans have something similar to this.

Humans assassin would be better though since he can instant kill, goblins aren't as skilled in that category. If it's to much for a 4 turn unit then I could move it to the Stone Fortress which would extend this units cost further.

But that's all the human assassin does, just kill. We need something that can sabotage or steal Tech.

Humans one can steal, and sabatoge as well, Stratego added stealing again for them.

But only way it can still is capturing town centers, which doesn't have the authorization to do that?

No, just stand next to one and if it has a tech then you can steal it, I know sabatoge works because I've done that plenty of times, but with the undead shade but I think she can steal too.

Never even have done that, didn't know that's how it works.

Well, that's the use I found for shades.

I will look into ot.

Will be changed in concept into invisible damage dealer unit.
No one hit wonder.
