Archidons already have the ability to do long range damage? That's what fire arrows is used for. Also imagine having fire arrows with that kind of range and then putting "Bulls Eye" on top of that... you would be able to fire your arrows all the way from 1 gold mine to another in the Castle Map lol.
And for Deads having poison, it would pretty much poison all your melee units, which is irritating. I think they poison enough in my opinion (Deads, Castle Dead, Medusa Spit, etc). That's annoying enough haha :)
I like the melting idea tho, it could be part of the animation when they die, but i just disagree with the pool of poison since Medusa already does that with her spit. :)
