This looks good but I'm concerned that the AI does not know how to use or manage Blood Kisses to get Bloodline Vampire Lords so it effectively nerfs all Vampire Count factions?

arowhf, theres a mod for that. search male vampire count lord. :)

on this occasion, you get to have your cake AND eat it too :)

Just a suggestion, but the unused Vampire lord model could be repurposed into a male vampire hero. Different lores than female - beasts, maybe even something like tempest since sylvania isn't too far from Kislev

Thank you for update

@AsmodeusUltima I was getting that issue when paired with this mod: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2789863883 after disabling either this or that the issue goes away.

I think it's another mod. If this one were to cause issues it would be on loading the game. It's a simple mod so even it's conflicts would just be overwritten values, not an all out crash

Currently causing CTD during end of turn 1. Playing as Astragoth with lots of other mods, so possibly a conflict.

Does this work with the latest update?

@soulmindproductions
I'll look it up, thanks!

It should affect AI factions. But I think they will keep their startpos generic lords.

Just have to say that I was kinda reluctant to this mod in the beginning and it turned out to be great added value to my campaigns! An observation (and a question): It doesn't affect AI factions, does it?

Hey David, check out Stormfly's "Limited Rosters", you'll love it!

Thank you, rare to find mods that modders understanding the value that comes from less is more.

Would this work with SFO?

Nice.

Correct Matteo.

Hello! Does this work both for player and AI?

Love and agree with this concept. Only issue I'm facing right now or rather are worrysome:
Those bloodline lords aren't actually that powerful compared to other generic or legendary lords as far as i could tell. VC units generally are already lacking balancewise compared to other factions and their lords aren't that particularly better off either :/

What other mods are you using? chances are one of them is overwriting this one and bringing vampires back into the game.

Sorry, but I have been starting a new campaign and even after resubscribing and downloading, vampire lords are still an option. I'm not going to be using them, but still

I just verified, the mod still works - removing vampire lords as intended. I have re-uploaded to ensure it matches latest game version.

It looks like this mod isn't working for the newest update

Damn, I wish I'd found this mod back when I first started my current Vlad campaign. I've been doing this as a self-imposed challenge for the most part, but the presence of that one Ghoul King I recruited when I forgot I was doing it irks me.

I always liked the idea of the bloodline lords so much more than just "generic vampire that you can recruit infinite of". It just feels much more flavorful (and gives reason to have a few necromancy bois here and there).

The only thing I'm missing from vampire counts now flavor-wise is for AI to actually use bloodline lords themselves aswell (including maybe having minor factions be lead by them - w'soran leading the necrarchs isn't actually a necrarch as far as i know, and the strigoi bois aren't bloodline strigois, etc.).

No. The mod was built with the intention that vampire lords are already quite powerful - and that they should be rare. If you wish for vampire lords to be buffed, it may be worth looking for other mods that do that.

does this buff the vampire lords too?

Hey folks - Mod will be fine in 2.1. I've got some irl stuff thats delaying my ability to update.

Does it need an update?

that mod is here https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2161078015

i couldn't play WH2 without your mod, lulz
Well, another question, in WH2, I found a mod that can give players bloodline vampire as hero, and it is very interesting and cool.
Can you make a mod like that in WH3?

Hmm, I think it might be another mod or basegame bug. the *only* desync I can think of is if a vampire army/garrison was defeated and the game has tried to give them a vampire lord substitute. But even then, not desync worthy.

Im playing with Isabella's faction and i also have the mod dedicated traits for bloodline lord and factionwide benefits . Didn't crash early game. I was fighting against skarsnik , and it desyinct every time before the battle outcome was decided . My friend was playing with Volkmar . I have a few other mods but none seem to have any link to this. I was turn 35 on very hard and the battle was a normal land battle in the zone where skarsnik is starting in wh3

@? Yes, i'm not blaming this modder for the lack of skins, just trying to highlight this issue because i've never seen another mod address it. I don't know if it's a hard mod to create, I have a handful of published mods but nothing as technical as adding skin variants. If in fact Kadon is making a mod for this then fantastic. Sorry if I sound antagonistic.

I assume your MP friend also has the mod installed? Which factions are in the battle and what type of battle is it?

This mod is super lightweight, it could be another mod?

Keeps desyinc-ing in mp if i fight the battle , auto works fine

Love this mod! Thanks!

Why does nobody ever complain that each lord of each bloodline are clones. At least generic lords have 3+ variants they can look like. Taking them away leaves you with just one skin for each lord with a grand total of 4 skins possible for vampire lords. I love the idea of this mod but the zero skin variety really kills it for me.

Hey this was always a staple for me. Glad you decided to port it.

did a literal "oh my god" saw this in workshop, love effect this mod has on campaign especially when fighting them.

can you make it so the generic vampire lord is still there thay just cost 1 blood kiss?

Excellent, very happy to see this mod back from TWW2 :)
