About the skeletons: Yes, I had seen that, too. First I was confused, that they are neither mindless, nor "never heals" (Btw, in opposite of what Endoperez said earlier, I'm pretty sure, all "never heals" units heal in a lab, not just magic beings.)
But the spell and creature description makes clear why they are not mindless and allows speculation, how they heal.
They still have around 30 moral, that's why I found the standard to be strange.
Moral: That is another thing. Usually there is
99: Berserk (fights on and on)
50: Mindless (dissolves on army rout)
30: nearly immune to fear (retreats with army but not on his own)
8-18: Varying degrees of braveness.
Seeing values like 28 or 32 maks me thinking why you have not just taken 30.
About the forge bonus: I imagined as much for the earth magic thing. Ido like that image of the necromancer, too.
Maybe you add a E2D1 (or something) spell "Create Homunculus" to Construction for them.
But a forge bonus is something diffrent (doh, I'm the one to say, while working on a mod with a forge bonus unit atm myself.
).
Not even the middle era Agathan Golem Crafter has one. Not even the Dwarven smith of Vanheim allthrough I guess, that might be a mistake.
So does your nation have as much right to have expert item forgers as Caelum or Ulm? Well, okay, yours has only 15% so that sounds okay although he has really good magic for a forger.
