New Dark Elxir Troop: The Ghosts

Here's my idea for a new DE troop, so hear me through. The Ghost is a unit that is resurrected from the graves of your fallen troops, with the help of a little DE of course. Here are the stats below

Bio: Once their mortal bodies where used at your expense for pillaging others villages and ultimately meeting their end at the hands of a cannon or a well placed arrow, they rise from their graves to continue the fight. These ghosts haunt their attackers, moving straight through defenses as the village people watch in horror. But their link to the mortal world is close to shattering and are frail despite their ghostly appearance. Who knows the full destructive power these ghosts could wield if in the right hands...

Damage:15 3x against buildings containing humans (builders huts, town hall, archer tower, etc.)

Favorite target: buildings that house/contain humans (town hall, builders huts, archer towers, wizard tower, lab)

Speed: on the slow side, can move through walls(seems very overpowered)

Health:30 hp or less

Other: (optional) can disable but not damage defenses as an alternative,

Cost:10 DE

Is a melee troop.

This is all I can think of and I will surely add to this thought as I go. Please comment your thoughts, negative or positive.:D

I like the idea

Thanks for the positive feedback there.

Please remember to post a comment on this idea.

I love the idea I think that they should have a speed of 24 too. I think three times damage to human building is a little op so how about 2. Loved it

ok great. Thanks for the feedback.

i like it, but what would the amount of space it takes up be? 2,3?

First off, like the idea but cannot see them as a unit you build. I would think that you would have a necromancer unit whose sole ability is to revive these guys, but that seems like a waste of camp space. How about a spell that summons these guys (the amount summoned would be equal to half of the units that you have lost when you drop the spell).

Or a spell revive with a radius that costs like 300 DE.

The spell is a good idea and I like that. I was originally going to have a building called the soul collector but it would be pointless to have a new building for just one unit. You would fill the soul collector by tapping on tomb stones.

I am guessing that two housing space sounds good.

Yah that's really fair. Oh! My 220 troops died! No worries, I've got revive.

What if this Necromancer unit didn't bring back multiple ghosts for all the tombstones, but instead created a sort if combined "spirit creature"?

If there are gravestones then the spirit can be created. The "spirit creatures" powers depend on the amount of gravestones.

1 gravestone is = 25 hit points & 5 damage per second ( or whatever )

If troops die in battle the souls will keep adding to "spirit creatures" power .... Assuming he is alive

I gave a question if they get raised from the graves of the mortal troops does it automatically take the 10DE of you and make a ghost or how do you pay for it if its not trained but resuracted

I like the revive spell comment. I think that would be the best way to handle this. Nice idea.

The spell could be used on any uncollected gravestones on the defenders fort or you own dead troops.

Funny thing is there, all troops don't drop tombstones...
