Im making this unit mainly because merlocks are starting to piss me off whenever i play undead vs orcs on water maps

Water Skeleton

Same stats(json) as skeleton swordsman but speed not lowered while in water(yea i know hes holding a spear but its because of aerodynamics)
Cost:3
Bonuses:Merclock and its upgrades(200%),Sea Serpent(300%)
On land -1 speed

If only Cthulu could be used for the Undead army...

Oh hey! Maybe we can have aquatic corpses appear just like this. Including the ones for serpents, if you would like to create images for them.

Then they can be reanimated in serpent or water skeleton form.






...Aqua Skeleton.
Jk it's whatever you like it to be.

What "jk" means?

Just. Kidding.

I have another idea,when skeletal creature dies in water,bones will float.It can be reanimated to this.

Stats updated

Floating bones,when on water,should look similar to this

Before complaining try using the ghost ship

Anyway being a "sea infantry" unit i wouldn't have it have a bonus against other unit of the same king (like a skirmisher having bonus against other skirmishers). It is probably bertter treat it with similar bonuses like merman and merlocks and create those speific corpses for mermen merlocks and sea animals

You'll end up having more than you need.

How about invisibility when in water it would good in making ambush

Invisibility doesn't sound right. Just like you would still see Merlocks in the water.

Some floating Dragon bone would be awesome, wouldn't want to let some good skeletal Dragon bones go to waste if they were in the water.

Ghost ship cant be trained fast enough for meh lol,and it cant beat swarm of elite merlocks
I made this unit so undeads could have SOME kind of defense there.Currently merlocks just keep dodging me in that stupid water,my undeads r too slow,and when they r ready they just hack n slash

I thought you will see bones when this unit is in water but they are when unit dies in water

So every type of corpses in water excluding sea serpent will look same and spawn one type of skeleton?

Only merlocks and mermen corpses

In these days i was planning to make a skeleton pirate that was more or less the same thing of the water skeleton (reanimated from water creature)

Now THAT i need for meh campaign

Does it look better with outlines?In my opinion it does

I think not (I didn't add them on purpose). Once you see it with team color it should be good without

Maybe you are right

But how comes ur image is so big? 17 kb lol

I don't know. I'm compressing the file as always but lately it gives me bigger files

Are you using online converter to compress files?

No, i do everything with photoshop

OHHHHH....
Puss_in_Boots animated with photoshop.The Soul Dealer topic can show u the results

Uh no, I animated with the basic photo editor app which goes with gallery app made for taking pictures.

Ohh..i thought you said photoshop lol.Btw ur animation was a "little" oversized
