Masked Mustachio’s Legendary Vampire Lord Reskin
I have been considering playing the Vampire Counts with my wife but I don’t like what any of the vampire legendary lords look like (except Isabella) so I made this mod which changes Vlad, Mannfred, and The Red Duke.
I changed Vlad to look a bit more armored with a chain coif and also made his face look more like a vampire and less like a zombie. I know that the artwork always shows his zombie face, but I don’t like it so I changed it. His unit cards are porthole were also changed for his new look.
I changed Mannfred to be more armored. I hate how he wears tank top armor to show off his arms. It looks bad so I gave him armor while keeping his iconic bare head. I also changed his sword to more in line with the lore of carrying a huge 2h sword rather than a staff/sword combo. It isn’t MASSIVE but it is as big as I wanted to make it without changing the animation to be 2h. Basically too many mods that people might use would conflict with this mod if I changed animations so I wanted to avoid that.
I changed The Red Duke to look less like a fish. I hate the little wings and such on the vampire lord armors so I removed that. I also gave him a Bretonnian greathelm since he was a former knight. Also while his armor is red overall, I wanted to break it up just a bit with some more black to keep it from being a washed out eyesore of red. I also removed his shield (but kept his bronze shield stat) and replaced his sword with a custom one more in line with what I imagine he would have based on his lore. He killed an Emir of Araby for his sword so I made a scimitar-ish sword that I think works for him. I thought about making him wield the sword two handed but I didn’t want to give him new animations and make him incompatible with other mods that make him a playable faction or something. His unit cards are porthole were also changed for his new look.
Other than re-skin these units are unchanged. I tried to keep this mod as compatible as possible with other mods so as long as you don’t have anything that messes with in-game dds files or meshes it should be fine. Even then it should be okay as long as the other modders don’t mess with the original files and instead renamed them like I do.
