Vampire Core Factions Extended (By Blaise90) – fixed for S&F

Welcome weary traveler!

Lets wander into the land of eternal darkness…

Please don’t forget to rate & if you like it subscribe!

Goal is to extended the factions of Vlad, Mannfred, Walach Harkon and Heinrich Kemmler each with their own "take".

Barrow legion will specialize on Spectral beings.
Vlad will have access to Mortal regiments.
Mannfred will have a wide variety of skeletal beings and vampires to choose from.
Walach Harkon will have an extended Blood Dragon regiment to command.

Current content:
– Barrow Legion(Heinrich Kemmler): "Blaise90’s Barrow Legion Spectral Army" mod content

– Von Carstein faction(Vlad or Isabellla):
As the Von Carstein’s are the ruler of men & beast I added an "Influence" resource and Sylvanian "mortal" units.

New resource: Influence (influence is gained by maintaining public order, thus generated from new Sylvanian Military buildings)

New Slyvanian military building set.

New mortal units cost an amount of influence to be recruited.

New General: Sylvanian General. (Human general that boosts sylvanian mortal units in its army.)

Mortal units cannot be healed by vampire lore as they are not undead.

– Walach Harkon (Ordo Draconis, Templehof):
As Alluvian’s Ordo Draconis faction overhaul is discontinued I implemented his full mod into this package to save the mod from deletion.
Original discontinued mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2191828655&searchtext=alluvian

– Main Vampire Counts Faction(Mannfred or Helman Ghorst): Using as basis the discontinued mod of Alluvian’s Rise from the Grave to save it from deletion.

The basic vampire faction will be focused on skeletal undeads and elite vampires.
Three new buildings added.
One new resource: Bone Piles.
Currently alluvian’s skeletal units implemented + 2 skeleton magic caster unit crated by myself.
Added battle standard bearers for skeletal foot soldiers & cavlary.

To mimic from lore the alliance between Mannfred & Arkhan to resurrect Nagash:
Added Tomb King regiments
Tomb King Tech Tree
Tomb King General

Original discontinued mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2173984202&searchtext=alluvian

Additional Content Plan:

Ordo Draconis:
– Cavalry battle banners

Kemmler
– Check ethereal tech tree.
– Plan to add two monstroous meele unit.
-Battle banner holders

Vlad:
– add banner holder hero Estroth the Silent

Mannfred:
– Adding Adoplhus Kreiger as a LL Hero.

Note: If you use either one of my older mods, you should only use this mod or one of them!
Do not use them together!

Strongly recommend for more immersion their original mod that brings banners to battles:
– High Elves (27 variants)
– Dwarfs (21 variants)
– Greenskins (35 variants)
– Empire (65 variants)
