Why no skeletons?

One thing the original game did significantly better than DE, was the lasting visual effect of huge battles. I'm talking about skellies. Piles of them. I want that back. With new and improved physics; I want to see the skulls crunching under the hooves of my heavy cavalry. Come on, Microsoft, have some respect for the dead.

Meanwhile, is there a mod that restores the bony boys and also works with multiplayer?
