Male Vampire Heroes (Vampires & Beasts)

"Mannfred selected most of his lieutenants on desire that they should, on no account, prove a danger to him. As a result, very few had enough in the way of wits to escape the disastrous battle on Grim Moor. Those who remained possessed either the raw brute strength to fight their way clear, or more good sense than Mannfred had suspected. Mannfred had marked the latter group upon his arrival, and had resolved never to underestimate them in the future - if any in the Dead and Buried survived to see one."

—The Nosentra, Mannfred's Lieutenants


Adds two Lore options to the Vampire hero recruitment tab: Vampire (Vampires) and Vampire (Beasts). These are male characters to complement the existing female Vampires (Death and Shadows).

Vampire (Vampires): Lore of Vampires, duh!

Vampire (Beasts) : Lore of Beasts. In Warhammer Total War the Bloodline Lords (von Carstein and Necrarch) use mixed lores with Beasts spells. The hero version here has a custom version with the option to summon Giant Wolves or Cave Bats. These summons take a morale hit and flee the battle after 120 seconds (same time as most summons crumble).

Also adds one Lore option for Necromancer heroes: Necromancer (Death).

Necromancer (Death): has Magic Finding instead of Replenishment as their army assist skill. Does not have the Raise Dead bonus skills and uses the Assault Unit rather than Assault Unit(s) skill.

Technical stuff/Modders' notes:

To resolve missing art sets and male/female names with mixed gender agent types, I have set the vampire hero (dignitary agent type for Vampire Counts) internal gender to be "male".

As a consequence, any pre-existing vampire heroes (such as in the startpos) will have missing art sets. This mainly affects the two generic female vampire heroes that start with Vlad/Isabella: Melissa Rahtep and Emanuelle Posner. This mod includes a scripted fix to respawn Melissa Rahtep and/or Emanuelle Posner with correct art sets.
