Unit list belonging to Necropolis.

Skeleton
Skeletons are the simplest product of necromancy, raised without elaborate rituals – just magic binding bones into a crude frame capable of basic movement and obedience.

Melee Morale: 0 Luck: -5 to 5 Speed: 3 Initiative: 4 Upgrade: 10 Gold

Melee Morale: 0 Luck: -5 to 5 Speed: 3 Initiative: 6 Upgrade: Gold
