Flying islands but no way to travel? The zeppelin is the best way!

Build a workshop at the edge of a cliff then craft a zeppelin,
The zeppelin would need a driver, and for example 6 places for materials or units, to get in or out it should always be at the edge of a Cliff, maybe the opportunity to jump from the zeppelin?

What you think about it ?

    LOL while the drawing leaves a lot to be desired I do enjoy the idea of Zeppelins being implemented. However I do have concerns and questions for this idea; Are Zeppelins able to fly wherever they please, or are they a void only unit, effectively making them the game's "official" boat units? Who will be the Zeppelin's direct unit counter? What's stopping a player from cramming craploads of troops into Zeppelins to attack and exploit weak spots in a map? How will they be powered and what's their power resource? How much do they cost?

    Mind you I'm not attacking you here, I just want to flesh out this idea and create some discussion, because it's a good idea.

    My only straight opposition to this idea would be having offensive Zeppelin type units since that would add an even bigger workload for the team in terms of game balance and debugging. Plus I'm not going to lie, I LOVE the game's emphasis on troop combat plus tower defense and would like to see the troop combat aspects of it evolve.

    I'm not an artist ^^

    All the distance classes could attack the zeppelin, maybe one day the archer will be able to shoot fire arrows very strong again wood structures and catapult or zeppelin. I think that if the zeppelin is slow and all the distance classes are a way to destroy them, in pvp the zeppelin would not be a means of aggression.

    To defend themselves, the archers could shoot from the zeppelin
    I see the zeppelins just as a means of transport but not for many units or materials, 4 or maybe 6 places (only one archer each side) (+1 driver).

    To build them: lots of wood and textile, ropes, maybe iron bars or gears, I understand that a zeppelin would be a Big advantage on certain maps, so build one should be only when you can afford to make one.

    As fuel: brimstone or grass
