Skeletons aren't possessed, they're a product of soul channeling (consumes soul)- in contrary with phantoms what are souls in a empty vessels
But they're independent
Phantoms will not make leaders/generals of their own kin, just by armor differences, wouldn't provide any effect anyway, since lack of morality and no power difference.
Exept if the possseser spirit it's with miles more powerful (we have
@DoomsdayDragonfire s hero for that
- able to cast spells while anchors to a world what is difficult at same time
Tho I don't like the leader idea non of the cases
Content wise to not copy exactly human army structure, especially Imperial,.. in three fronts...
Lore wise - above reason, scellies should not work this way
Rather their casters presence effects them, or special cases
Third "in death we're all equal" no leader leaves different corpse
Forth :If added frenzy touch, scellies will do more than fine without any buffer
Otherwise we would added with DDD a banner carrier with buffs but Alex said no.
We have plans unholy Knights and wraiths(dodgy and light pair of phantoms) and a "Drakula"approach unit
May that one is more suited as leader
So hold on
We'll look over those and discuss what and how.
undead balance, content expansion r on the agenda.
