Great work ! but a little buggy : / When you kill enemy, the unit summoned stay on the corpse : o ... And when the corpse is gone ... unit go back an a point .... frustrating :vw_death:
a fellow this post if you want to fix this maybe I include that on my super custom map :goblin_good_job:....
can you attach this on a skill like defending on footman (skill that you allow to put on/off ? :goblin_yeah:

Like this its look ... Perfect ! :peasant-victory:
