I seem to also experience that the era buff isn't being applied. And in my first playthrough with Secret Societies enabled, the the Secret Society Vampire didn't get bonusses for being near killed units. Thought that might be the reason as well for the lack of era bonus for the Spawn, but alas in the second playthrough without Secret Societies the Spawn still gets no more than the +10 era bonus

Played as Strahd, unlocked the betrayal emergency achievement. 10/10

thanks for the fix btw! much appreciated

Was that for me?

Must be caused by another mod.

I need a starting settler.

I think I found out what causes it. whenever my vampires are traveling on water, after a few turns they lose their era damage buff. not 100% sure but has happened both times I travled on water

I see, thank you! I might have found a bug. They lost their era strength buff and never got it back. this was late game on online speed. was multiplayer game. any idea about this?

oh and another thing, are the vampire spawn from any era? do they benefit from any era unit production cost reduction policy cards?

Hey! I have some questions. does the +20 heal for adjecent allies stack? and is the corps/army worth it? also do you have any tips for this mod? anyways very cool mod!

Updated! Thanks for pointing that out!

Ahh yeah I have an idea what might be causing it, and if I'm right it would mean druids and bards both are affected

Hello! Is this mod still updated? I love how the vampire spawns were implemented and the flavor of Domains of Dread!

I encountered a bug with the Bard promotion where the culture on kills gets applied to ALL units, not just that one vampire. It might also be the case for the Druid and their faith on kills, but I haven't tested that out yet.

how you're a jerk @Filgo2 anyways this looks cool cant wait to try it.

I said Vlad, but of course I meant Strahd. I never said the map ever showed up; but Strahd did show up. No need for the snark.

Surprising, given that there's no Ravenloft map nor a leader called Vlad in this mod

Problem fixed itself. Maybe a game restart did the trick.

Can you maybe add promotions to the vampire spawns, so that one vampire spawn can get more of the promotions?

Sounds like everything is working fine, enjoy!

OK I subscribed, restarted game, checked to make sure mod was enabled and yet Vlad does not show as a possible leader. There was not Ravenloft map choice either. Help.

Sounds even more broken than vanilla Babylon

No it does not. It may be due to the melee vs ranged split.

Is the era-dependent bonus for vampire spawn dependent on when you created the spawn? I have one game where the spawn had +10 era bonus during the Ancient Era, and another game where the spawn also had a +10 era bonus during the Classical Era (but I may have created that spawn later than the first game)

The image above listing the classes separates them into melee and ranged.

Correct, though perhaps the texts should be updated to reflect that difference

ok, thanks.

Depends on the adventure promotion you choose iirc.

Why do some vampires attack from a distance and others don't?
great mod, I just started the game but I noticed that with three units that I built in the same era.
some give the option of ranged attack and another only melee.

Hm, even in the classical era entering combat the combat strength doesn't change...maybe it's a mod incompatibility? Are there any known issues?

@perforin you need to enter combat for the combat strength to appear.

@Playful Kitsune are you playing with any other mods?

Yeah I researched it

I hit the Medieval era and the vampire spawn combat strength isn't increasing...anyone else encounter this error?

Have you researched the correct civic?

I can't seem to build a vestani camp, dont know why

holyshit this is just what im looking for

No they don't. They gain one promotion upon being created.

Can the Vampire Spawn gain experience. because so far I have killed quite a few units with it and it won't level up for me to promote and the experience isn't going up.

love the mod. but it would be awesome if vampires healed 10% when killing, and after say, 10 kills, if they were able to spawn new vamp.

Thart's so Coool ! Now my party are adventuring in ravenloft, It makes me so excited !

Thanks for the fix, lovely work as always! The Vampire spawn units are so much fun to play around with

Aye, the bugged relic is gone and Vampire Spawn production cost scales with era. I figured they were not intended to be that cheap for the entire game ;)

Fixed that bug caused by referencing some DLC agenda

Are there DLC requirements not mentioned in the mod page? Tried installing on a non-modded game and it kept throwing error. I have Ethiopia Pack, Babylon Pack, and R&F and GS.

Or maybe its not compatible with Mac?

The relic was not fully tested and I forgot to remove it. I'm going to do some more testing and hopefully resolve that issue over the weekend.

I'm playing as Strahd right now and it's so fun, thank you! :)

Did you add relics? I earned one that apparently was not named properly, it showed a long string of capitalized words and underscores, something like Icon of Ravenloft, and now I can't open the Great Works screen ^^

The Vampire Spawns are a lovely offensive unit. Couple of comments:
1) They don't cost population in a city with Magnus & Provision promotion. Probably intentional.
2) Over the course of the game they get stronger - but apparently only when attacking ("+80 from player era" as a bonus). At full health Vampire Spawn Armies get one-shot by all enemy units or city strikes when defending, but easily defeat even Modern Armour Armies when attacking.
3) They don't get more expensive over the course of the game. They are still 100 Production / 200 Faith in the late game. I buy 2 Armies in Magnus's city every turn.
-> They are immensely powerful glass cannons and dirt-cheap.

Then again, they could spend the first three eras in a dark age, and have an extra 3 slots to slot golden cards in for a big recovery play.

Probably not balanced for dramatic ages mode. The power of gaining a wildcard policy slot for every dark age visited is severely offset by losing your cities when entering a dark age. I can see this working out in the early game when you're still only on city #1 upon the first dark age, but on Deity difficulty, you can lose up to 40% of your cities to a dark age. When you have over half the world conquered, it's just not worth it.

the next could be werewolves

This is so OP

Love love love this mod, incredible work.
