Here there is a problem related to reanimation...

Pikers from every race are those who drop the spearman corpses so who should drop the piker corpses needed to reanimate that skeleton?

Since I haven't implemented yet the skeleton monster that will be alternative to the spearman, maybe we might make this have the piker role instead of the halberdier role.

What do you think about it @Savra ? Maybe with some edit we might transform that unit into a piker (just making its spear/arm longer)

I think this pikeman could drop from a pikeman goblin

I won't add a new corpse for that purpose but using the monster unit for that purpose could be fine. We might either make it like a 2 range pikeman or halberdier.

I forgot what that unit even looked like to be honest.

I thought it was already going to be a 2 ranged unit? If it's spear arm isn't long enough I could try this approach.

Hmm, actually I thought skeleton were going down a different approach to anti-cavalry by using 2 actions instead of getting 2 range. That's kinda what I got from the pikemen monster when I was making it.

I remember I wanted an halberdier type for that. The one with double action was the mounted one as far as I remember.

Works either way. So you prefer a long range piker over a halberdier?

I'm not sure. Maybe we could have a long range halberdier for a bit higher cost.

Here.

thanks!

set as implemented
