does this mod need to be updated for the new patch?

Damn - subbed to this and didn't realise they are very OP - pretty much ruined a Vamp C campaign as Empire stacks them and armies with them are all but invinsible.

@Nox First Love your units, Second (Most importantly) Love that you made custom unit cards for them that look vanilla. Most moders don't bother to make one for theirs, which kinda ruins the immersion for me, so thank you for the work you put into this mod. Also any chance you could make one for the Dwarves? I ask only because no one else has made one with good looking unit cards like yours. Thanks again, keep up the great work!!!
