My only concern is about stats.
I will a bit later look onto stats for each specific unit and compare them but for now some attack values could be a bit too overpowered or underpowered. Also hp is a bit way too low. Flyers receive lots of bonus damage from archers thus they can either have a bit higher health while still counted as glassy or maybe some dodges.

As for concept — idea is not that bad for me. Alas i have one additional concern — we are going to get more gargoyles for undeads later (5 more i think) — and giving undeads even more generic (without some speciality) flying units could be not that good simply because they would be underused.

I do see your point they are a bit to fragile and deal a little to much damage so I maybe should decrease the damage and give them a bit more health and/or give them a arrow dodge to give them a bit more uniqueness over the upcoming gargoyles and to add more uniqueness give a charge for the melee eclipses and give the schoolers the ability to summon a shadow ball that can act as a suicide type unit and give the archers or the crossbowman to give a multi shot ability that deals aoe damage.

You can think a bit for now but for sure gargoyles will come first and only after we will look onto eclipse units.

Flying carrier unit with 4 carry capacity for such cost is no. Either reduce hp down to 30-40 or increase cost up to 10+. Also non-water carriers must not be able to carry any non-foot, non-land, non-giant units (no carry of cavalry, no carry of ettins).

Again. Attack value of ranged units is a bit too high, dagger thrower has too low cost for such good stats + stealth ability.

Ok how about the transport have 50 health and with a 3 carry cap and the fire archer have 17-20 attack and reduced cursed flame ball to 20 damage and the captain
Have 22-24 attack and the dagger thrower costing 5-6 and maybe reduced damage, and now for the older units, archer have 18-21 and eclipse swordsman will have 40-43 health and Crossbowmen having 23 attack.

[makazuwr32]

Not sure yet since we can't set stats for them now before another fluing mini sub is yet to be added.
Thus i am saying that they are higher than normally should but for now do not edit.

When we will return back to this idea some time later we will base stats on your proposal.

Here's a eclipse appearance and a backstory and the eclipses culture just for fun (sorry if it a bit messy and long, I'm not a writer)


Appearance :
little bit smaller than humans and are quite slim and have pure black skin. Their buildings have a japanese aesthetic. their armor are a mix between samurai and knight armor, they wear wear helmets that are a mix between Chinese and Japanese , you can do whatever you want with the leggings and chestplateas.

Backstory:
While no one knows how the eclipses were born they were first seen soaring into the skies in a long and large mountain range called felhiem valley by adventures, shortly after the sight the adventures found a town on top of a mountain, due to their curiosity they climb up and were amaze from what they seen, the villages buildings and the villagers clothing are nothing they have seen before, a eclipse quickly notice them and the adventures ask if they can see the person in charge of the village, the eclipses took them to a town hall where the chief was waiting, the adventures and chief had a conversation and all of them agree to tell each other existence to their leaders.

After a few years almost everyone knew the eclipses and thier unique culture. warfell discover that the mountains on felhiem valley grows unique flora and minerals and wanted it, at first some of the eclipses kingdoms decided to trade with warfell but as the days pass on ,warfell decided to plan a invasion. The wood elves didn't really care about the felhiem valley and it's residents but a king of a wood elf kingdom found out that it was a burial ground of a legendary elven king, the eclipses let the wood elves pass though to visit the burial site from time to time but soon the wood elves wanted it as thier own territory.

warfell and the wood elves decided to team up and split the land once they invaded, eclipses heard about the invasion and all the eclipse kingdoms decided to unite and defend thier home. The battle was brutal and bloody but the eclipses have the upper hand due to the mountainous terrain, the eclipses suffered heavy casualties but warfell and the wood elves also suffered casualties as well. warfell and the wood elves decided to make a treaty due the invasion started getting expensive for them. even after the conflict the eclipses hold a grudge against warfell and the wood elves.

Another few years past and the eclipses join the undead army. No one knows why they decided to join but some has speculated it's because they are part shadow and have a connection with dark magic, while the details on the eclipses deciding to join the undead is unknown they still a massive threat in the skies.

Culture: despite being part of the undead army the eclipses are proud and honorable people, not willing to kill the weak, children and the disable but they will hold gurges to the ends of the Earth if it remains unsolved. they love dancing, architecture and art but are not religious.They view each other as equals no matter what gender and allow females to join the army and the only known race that allows same gendered marriage.
