Aranessa the Vampire

Description
This is a reskin and unit alteration mod for Aranessa Saltspite.

The original intention when Vampire Coast was in development was for Aranessa to be a vampire. We know this from promotional material and art, plus one of the scenarios in Dreadfleet involves Noctilus giving Aranessa the Blood Kiss so there is a clear pathway in the lore for this.

As such, this mod just makes sense and makes things cleaner, rather than go through the rigamarole of Manann (or Stromfels) sending Aranessa dead bodies and then having her force her undead immortal lieutenants to raise zombies for her out of sheer loyalty and fear.

In addition to her changed appearance (beyond being pale and red eyed she also has some new vampire flourishes on her outfit), she has some minor attribute modifiers/passive abilities to keep her in line with other vampiric and undead characters, but her stat line remains unchanged.

Big credit to Poljanan for first doing this mod back in WH2, whose mod I used as the base for this data table wise, and then Xoudad big thanks to him as well for helping out in the final stretch with the tables.

In the future I may work on her Lord Effects to reflect her vampire nature.




And if there are a few mad lads out there inclined to contribute to my Arabyan coffee and Slaaneshi stripper fund, Marienburg funny money is accepted and appreciated!

Howdy folks. I love this reskin but would like to inform you all that this one clashes with the Hooveric Reskin. It causes Aranessa to do a T-pose and not have her vampire reskin. Whether you load this reskin before or after the Hooveric Reskin has no impact.

Of course, this is not a fault of either mod, both are fantastic. Just a little head's up for people wanting to use both.

You might remember it from a different modder, Poljanan, back from WH2. Our portraits/icons are different.

I was waiting for this mod to come back... did you update the lord portrait/icon, though? I remember it looking a bit rough

I had the same problem and wrote a small mod for myself. I posted it on the workshop in case somebody else want to use it until GunKing found time to update this mod.

Thanks for replying, and I'm glad you like the idea. I'll check your workshop every so often just in case you do find the time for it at some point down the line, after your other things. ^_^

That is a kick ass idea man! But regrettably I don't quite have the time with all the other things I'm doing right now to pull that off, I think it would be relatively simple to do actually but its all the research and testing beforehand that is time consuming.

If I ever do that mod, it will be posted in my workshop.

I know this is a lot to ask, but is there any chance at all you'd be willing to make a version of this (or a submod) that completely removes the Sartosan living units and shifts the buffs she gives them onto zombie deckhands?

I've always despised the Sartosan units for looking nothing like pirates, and it's even worse when you hear their voice lines in battle ("For the Emperor!" Why, CA, why?). Now that you've made this awesome mod that turns Aranessa into an undead herself, surely there's no need for her faction to keep incentivising players to use those trash units instead of units that actually ARE pirates.
