Frequently Asked Question (FAQ): MORE BUFFS AND SKILLS FOR VC UNITS RAAAAAA
Frequesntly Answered (FA): No. Arkhan's factionwide buffs for them I feel are sufficient.


Greetings to you all! Here I am with another mod that I bet your sorry asses that you never expected. So why did I create this mod? Well, I have always chosen Arkhan as my go-to Tomb King boyo. But I have always had a feeling that he missed something. Something more dark and malicious. Something to actually be compatible with his more vampiric allies. Yes, corruption! Vampiric corruptive influence of Nagash, his very master. I have secretly always wanted Followers of Nagash to be the Vampire Counts of the Tomb Kings!

How lorefriendly it is, I don't know. But, I present you you Arkhan with Vampiric Influence and his own Grave Guard unit!

So, this mod started of with me only wanting to give him a Grave guard unit variant, but then suddenly escalated into something far more. As of now, I hope this can help his situation of being kind of boring. Usually in campaign, he get's royally stomped by Greybeard prospectors or just the bretonnians lurking around his starting position. I doubt this will fix that, but there are some new additions to his faction as well as some new tricks up his sleve for the player.

Please do read the following effects that this mod does!


Faction:
Followers of Nagash gains an unique Rite called "Great Incantation of Nagash" that increases Diplomatic relations with Nagash followers (Vampire Counts, Noctilus, Luthor and Cylostra).
Followers of Nagash Tomb King standard buildings that spew out Untainted now shoots out Vampiric Corruption instead.
Followers of Nagash no longer just negates the corruption public order decline, but gains public order through Vampiric corruption now.
Added a script that makes AI Followers of Nagash take control of Sorcerer's Island and Lashiek. on campaign start.
Destroying Knights of the Flame in the process. (Thanks Aexrael Dex!)

Adds a new unit for Followers of Nagash: Arkhan's Grave Guard.
They're basically the same unit as Grave Guard from Vcounts.
They can be recruited from and get +1 capacity from Ancient Burial Mound (arkhan_unique_building_lvl2)

Arkhans Vampire Count units (Crypt Ghouls, Fell Bats, Dire Worlves and Hexwraiths (and now also Arkhan's Grave Guard)) now gain bonus leadership and casualty replenishment based on amount of Vampiric corruption in the region. (Same as Vampire Counts)

A new faction effect that makes the Worship of Asaph edict now applying Vampiric corruption instead of untainted (Yes, I know. Awkward)

Arkhan:
Legions of Death's Melee attack bonus for Fell Bats and Crypt Ghouls also affect Arkhan's Grave Guards.

Right-Hand of Nagash's Recruit Rank bonus for Vcounts unit types also include Arkhan's Grave Guards.
Right-Hand of Nagash also spits out Vampiric Corruption +10 (local province).

Arkhan's trait has an additional effect with Vampiric Corruption +2 (all characters factionwide)
Arkhan's trait also reduces vigour loss for Vampiric units in his army by -50% and adds additional cap for Grave Guards.

Lords:
If you play as Followers of Nagash, Tomb King lords can get an new trait called "Word of Nagash" which spreads Vampiric corruption +2 (local province)

Heroes:
Lich Priests Cleanse Corruption is now replaced with Spread Vampiric corruption instead (granted you play Followers of Nagash, of course!)

If you play as Followers of Nagash, Any hero can get an new trait called "Word of Nagash" which spreads Vampiric corruption +2 (local province)

Buildings:
Added a custom landmark all over certain places of Nehekhara called "Conclaive of Arkhan".

Conclaive of Arkhan:
Casualty replenishment from +10% (armies in local region)
Income from all buildings +10% (local province
Vampiric corruption osmosis (adjacent province spread) +10
Untainted reduction -1 local province

Grave Hill:
Vampiric Corruption +2 local province
Untainted reduction -1 local province

Ancient Burial Mound:
Vampiric Corruption +5 local province
Vampiric Corruption in adjacent provinces +2
Untainted reduction -1 local province

Landmark for Pyramid of Nagash:
Also Increases cap for Arkhan's Grave Guards by +5

Other Effects:
Vortex Victory now grants arkhan an additional +5 cap for Arkhan's Grave Guards (obviously works only for Followers of Nagash)
The Fifth book of Nagash now gives an additional +5 cap for Arkhan's Grave Guards and Crypt Ghouls (obviously works only for Followers of Nagash)

Known issues:
The unlock condition for Arkhans unique ritual refused to work. So temporarily for an undisclosed time the rite will be available for use since the start of the game.

The untainted reduction effect kind of breaks the corruption details screen, sometimes saying that untainted is treding plus, but vampiric corruption might be treding towards 110% or more. This of course makes no sense as 100% is maximum.

(Maybe) Future plans:
Make Master of Ceremony Trait available for all tomb king factions, except Followers of Nagash.

Maybe add some stronger units but tied behind books.
(like Mortis Engine, Crypt Horrors, Cairn Wraiths, Terror Gheist)
