Well, stats need to be changed to reflect the other skeletons, you seen to be good with images (that is a nice startpoint) and i guess there is room for this, humans own the zweihandler, orcs the 2h swordman, elves could have one aswell, so it could be discussed...

Yet those don't have proper corpses to drop this one, if you make a corpse for them, your chances of getting this in will be higher, also, you would need to get its upgrades as the rmored, golden and a monster variant that woukd be needed for it.

@DoomsdayDragonfire , I thought undeads need some area damage and producing this unit for 4 turns seems good for his stats. Is it really need to nerf him? If problem is logic of the world - he's pretty big and seems little stronger than other skeletons. If problem is balance, maybe undeads just dont need any area damage? Without this feature he become pretty useless.

For aoe you can use skeleton flail soldier.
Also we do not plan to expand of skeletons or add more types of corpses for your various skeleton ideas.
