You want an undead Version of all 1010 units in the game?

That... would be a lot of additional units. Either that, or they'd need to rework mummification, e.g. cover the original non-transparent parts in some weird wrapping texture (argh, not easy, esp when you consider weapons etc) plus deltas to the stats/abilities.
And don't forget Gift of Reason. What would a mummified Vastness, Horror or Krakenlook like?

YES!

Ok, kidding, kidding...

It wouldn't need be 1010 units, since most of those are human-shaped. Still quite a few though.

No, only a few are required.

1 for each pretender
1 which looks like a C'tis unit
1 which looks like a human
1 which looks like an abysian unit
1 which looks like a lizard (which would include salamanders, drakes, bog beasts, etc.)

and a few others. I don't have each unit memorized. Others would include squid-like units or a troll-like unit. etc. Get it? It's not that hard at all.

I didnt say it was hard. It just seemed like alot. We already have long lists of things that "arent hard" but there are only 2 devs, and this isnt even what they do all day.

But I see the point. Some generic undead Versions of each. Just as there are already alot of generic plant-vine Versions.

But as I think about it Im not sure if the game is programmed to allow an image to be used for alot of different units with different stats. Looking at the AllView game there are many Versions of some units such as Red Dragon, and Knight. Space would have been saved by pointing to 1 image but having multiple stat files.

First, it IS a lot of work. Second, I don't see the advantage over using the same model, with an "undead" skull icon. How little you know about undead! They walk among us. You cannot always tell... not for the recently undead...
