I get what you mean, as you say the Dark Elves are like a weird mix of Undead, Daemons and Elves. I think it's unfortunate that neither the Spiders nor the Skeletons get any upgrades too, I tend not to build any Tombs at all until much later (and even then I only build Tombs to get the Black Ward research). They can also get a research to build Gravestones but have almost no use for them :(.

I reckon the Dark Elves have a reasonable amount of Assassination stuff going on, but maybe they could get Wasps (producible at the Tomb?) to assassinate air units. Dark Riders do triple damage vs heroes which may suffice until the time Assassins become available. I have a feeling giving any ranged unit the ability to assassinate may not be a good thing for gameplay/balancing due to the way projectiles work and the ranged>melee nature of the game (where many ranged units can attack a unit, only 8 melee units can attack).
