This will be like undead's light cavalry units.

Cost:3
Hp:19
Attack:7
Armor: 1
Pierce: 4
Movement: 6
Spell resistance: 20%
Sight: 8

-Detects 8 tiles away and even spot stealth units.
-Ultimate scout unit.

what about a fast but weak explorer? What undeads really lack is something to help them in their expansion at the beginning of the game.

Honestly it would be good for some halloween map/campaign and since soon it's halloween It's good idea for unit

Yeah, they really need something cheap and fast. Although, I've been thinking maybe a 1 cost, speed 3 unit that can capture tcs might be interesting for early expansion. Might be op though

Or a bat with flying, move 6, hp 1 no attack cant capture tcs and 1 cost for explorer( but this is going OT a bit)? And keep this as individual idea

You know what? This might actually make it appear as much as an actual light cavalry unit. Causing the unit to be seen rarely instead of overused.

I would prefer some kind of spooky ghost rider that is like light cavalry

Wow this post is actually causing lots of ideas to burst.

Headless horseman is already spooky rider

Oh, okay.

How are these stats:

cost:3
Hp:19
Attack:6
Armor:1
Pierce:2
Sight:8
Movement:6

Sounds about right. It fits the bill for light cavalry.

Actions 1 right?

That seems great, it should be implemented.

I will try to draw something.

I think a headless horseman is more an elite horseman, and a bat, or a ghost a scout.

The problem is we already have 2 elite cavalry
But I agree Headless Horseman should be stronger

I really don't think undead need yet another elite cavalry unit.

I totally agree.

Undeads are, at the moment, too exposed to spear users. Another cavalry elite is not needed (we already have death knight, spectral rider and upgradable knights).

What undeads really lack are fast units to explore the map in the early game.

The only two cavalry units I'll vote for undead are 1. A scout cavalry and 2. A cavalry archer.

I honestly wasn't much of a fan of the knight upgrades, for this reason. Their best units are either casters or cavalry, making them rather weak to halberdiers, sentinels, and even goblin/uruk pikemen.

It is more like dullahan i thinks.

We have dullahan at Phantoms topic as a hero

Now I see how much undeads need light cavalry

I like the concept for a fast unit

2 versions

Version 2 looks more fitting for the concept.

I edited the first post with new stats.

I don't understand part of the description lol

Anyway i was thinking... Since all explorers have a special ability (raptor riders are anti cavalry and human light cavalry has double attack) what about something special for that too? I was thinking the ability to see invisible units (it has no head so no eyes. It sees in a different way). What do you think?

Agreed, currently undeads have no "revealing" units

They have shades.

I didnt mean stealth units, but the units that can reveal stealthed ones
