This should be viable as we have tanks, tie fighters, orcs and cannon on an elephant. Though if it is a bit too much we can make it a map editor unit.

@Endru1241 is this possible to be implemented? As a Fun unit priced as 20 gems?

Even though it is fun unit, quickly spamming it around base is not fun at all. Maybe it would need a last turn nearly 7-10. Is not payable as mercs. And ideal for defensive assault

The name zombie is better match and cooperates with the AoF zombie as AoS fun unit

Image can be same as AoF zombie.

I'd rather not. AoF needs to have unique things.

Can be unfitting since Zombie is already a common thing.
Mysterious stranger and Minion fits more imho.

Plus, AoS is different.

? It has that stats since its a unique category unit.
Read slowly next time.

Reworked images and added indicator.
I'd suggest NOT to name this unit a Zombie. Its wierd.
Can be others. This unit has mutated for some reason hence having unhuman like strengths and carries an infectious desease that is uncurable but will go away once an amount of turns has passed. The infectious disease will only trigger once the host has died. Taking over its brain like a parasite and making it one of ifs own. And thus making it a minion controlled by the mysterious stranger.

Updated.

I am afraid not possible.
The only thing that can be applied on enemy kill is propChanger on unit doing the killing.
We could experiment with few other things - forceful transformation (but it has to be on alive unit) + conversion, ut I am not sure it would work good.

How about when the enemy reaches 3hp and below? It needs to be on an alive unit?
Or we can just make this ability just a different thing to compensate the lack of reanimation onhit effects

Is this possible? Mysterious stranger will have an ability called "Infect" with 1 damage and a 1turn CD, if the ability is successfuly hit the infected human will have a damaging effect called "Strange Disease" if the turn count goes to 0 the infected human will turn to a Minion, This effect lasts for 4 turns, any sort of healing can remove it.

The effect cannot be casted on Elephants, Buildings, Siege machines, all ships and any animal e.g. Scout, Bird and neutral horse.

I forceful transformation would work along with conversion - both effects could be set as related on each other and suspended (only fires when countdown ends, lime leaving), effects can also be set to be removable by action heal or mend. Initial effect (damage) can be set as first and with category filter on propChanger.
So technically should be doable, but there is no way to block possibility to destroy own unit.

somewhat intriguing
