Welcome to the game!

There is no sound & music. This is planned for the future but the problem is the game can't use copyrighted sound/music so needs to find something freely available or pay someone to create sound/music.

You are right it will always be the last skulls (there may be more than 1). This indicates that the unit was killed due to luck balancing. By luck balancing I mean the game smooths out extreme good/bad results (for example if you flip a coin you have 50% chance for head on 1 flip. On 2 flips you have 25% chance of 2 heads, on 3 flips you have 12.5% chance of 3 heads and so on). So in an effort for game balance the game smooths out results <10% so that if you flip 4 coins you can never get 4 heads (or tails) so that players don't lose (or win) due to extreme luck.
So when you see that die it means an unlucky battle was adjusted.
