Since we are adding rotten meat to be used with the corpse eating ability of skeletons: What about an ability that allow a zombie to sacrifice itself to provide 5 pieces of meat?

My idea is that you can "sacrifice a zombie" to summon 4 pieces of meat in range 1 and another piece in range 0 (either by using a transformation effect or, probably better, by making zombies drop meat on death).

Any suggestions or objections?

I always thought zombies and ghouls should drop corpses anyway so you can reuse them, but this sounds interesting so long as the ai doesn't overly use this being that undead ai spams with zombies.

Maybe just make it so that undead could sacrifice a zombie to heal another unit, basically canalizing it. It could work with the eat corpse ability.

If we make them sacrifice fir 5 corpses it will mean that 5 units can heal though. Also if we make the unit used for cannibalize we can't give it a "corpse" as well.

Btw... what about half zombies as well? I think that when a zombie die we might have the upper half of the zombie be able to attack and move by 1 tile/turn.

IDK, maybe it should only produce 1-2 rotten meat, because the zombies not that big, also how that much would come out of just the lower half of the zombie is questionable also.

Why not just give them die hard instead?

I think it doesn't fit well hte unit. Also I like the visual effect of zombies cut in half that continue crawling on the ground.

The last ones can still drop the meat on death.

Except how does one cut a zombie in half with a javelin, spear, or arrow?

Anyway, aside the technical here, maybe it should be a % thing.

It just represents a zombie that is badly damaged but still moves. Anyway no problem, forget about the idea. When a zombie dies, it dies.

Nah, this ones interesting. I'll make your crawler later when I get time again.

Just the basic zombies correct?

Yes

why not the ability of zombie can infect the enemy units that will poisoning(decreasinghp every turns) and it will become yours as a zombie its look like converting ability but unique . I think it helps to decrease enemy units and increase your zombie units

That is planned as well but is on hold for now.
Both of these abilities will probably coexist.
