Vampire Counts – Enhanced Bloodlines (Additional Crossbows, Gunners, and more!)
Hello there! This is a mod ported over from my WH2 version enhancing the Vampire Counts Bloodlines mechanic, but with some added tweaks (TBH mostly to roll back the nerfs from WH2 to WH3!)
TL;DR changes: Blood Dragon Untainted Attrition Immunity is back! Lahmian -50% Heroes upkeep cost is back! Von Carstein 20% replenishment rate is back! Von Carstein Sylvanian unit caps are way, way higher!
Please see screenshots for the *exact* changes! For the most part, all WH2 and WH3 values were merged together, resulting in both rolling back the WH2 -> WH3 nerfs, but keeping the flavor/lore friendliness together.
The mortal Sylvanian unit caps were also increased significantly, as I felt even back in the WH2 days it was extremely disappointingly low (and not fun to tinker with, as a result)
Vanilla Sylvanian missile unit caps:
- Level 1 Von Carstein Bloodline: +1 Crossbowmen
- Level 2 Von Carstein Bloodline: +1 Crossbowmen
- Level 3 Von Carstein Bloodline: +1 Crossbowmen +1 Handgunners
- Von Carstein Bloodline Lord Rank 10 Skill "Cattle Herder": +1 Crossbowmen
- Final Unit Cap Total: 6 Crossbowmen and 1 Handgunners units
Enhanced Sylvanian missile unit caps:
- Level 1 Von Carstein Bloodline: +3 Crossbowmen
- Level 2 Von Carstein Bloodline: +3 Crossbowmen
- Level 3 Von Carstein Bloodline: +3 Crossbowmen +3 Handgunners
- Von Carstein Bloodline Lord Rank 10 Skill "Cattle Herder": +3 Crossbowmen +1 Handgunners
- Final Unit Cap Total: 18 Crossbowmen and 6 Handgunners units
This mod will also update various Bloodlines tooltips and the Von Carstein Bloodline Lord Skill "Cattle Herder" to denote *exactly* how many extra units you’re getting by investing in each one. (see the screenshots above for details)
This mod should be relatively compatible, as it makes the bare minimum necessary changes to modify the rites. It does however touch up the vanilla script `wh2_vampire_bloodlines.lua`, so be cautious if using other mods that are likely to modify it!
Also, this mod is existing save game compatible! Feel free to add & remove at will, but given the nature of the scripts involved, you may see some oddities (best just to start a new campaign to be sure)
If you find any bugs or issues, just let me know!
