With no reason to ever pick a regular anymore. Then leave the other Bloodlines/Factions as a more “alternative” or long distance choice.īloodline mechanics also needs to be looked at, as there’s a disconnect between regular generic Vampire Lords and the ones you can get from the Bloodlines. With Mousillon and The Red Duke made playable, there could be a “simple” co-op experience with the Barrow Legion, given their close proximity to each other. It's also arguably one of the worst coop starting locations in the game at the moment, given that the Carsteins have unique buildings in Drakenhof. There isn't enough room in Sylvania for two playable major factions Legendary Lords. It's also about time that The Carsteins and Sylvania factions are merged back into one again.

Vlad and Isabella could use updated mechanics and for Isabella to be a Legendary Hero so she can be fielded in Vlad's army, together instead of the split army approach.

Ghorst should never have happened, especially in light of Dieter Helsnicht, an infinitely more recognizable character that was actually featured in the 4th and 5th edition Army Books.ĭieter could have been the Vampire Counts horde Lord, starting out from his secret shadow fortress in the Forest of Shadows. Then in wh2 we should've got another LL from one of the bloodlines who was a bit further south say a strigoi which may still happen i hope to god so and finally two more dlc's or one dlc and a flc later got neffarata and Zacharius the everliving but intead we got helman and hopefully CA can fix the vamps or So how should've CA handled the vampires well firstly helman should've been a LH and instead you could put volkmar up against any other vampire from a different bloodline or a different empire lord up agaist say a blood dragon or something


If you couldn't tell vampires are a favourite faction of mine i like their adaptable play style their unit roster is quite good(ish) and their campaign mechanics are decent enough but i don't think CA did the lord choices well.įirstly in the base game without dlc you get mannfred von carstein arguably one of if not the most famous vampire and vlad von carstein the first of the von carstein line and this is a good choice of lords it make sense in game and goes along well then we suddenly get isabella who despite being cool and all should really be a LH under Vlad but ok CA then Helman ghorst was added in the first and arguably worst lord pack and helman isn't really that cool so why does he exist then in wh2 for ME we got Henrich kemmler and Krell who in all honestly was pretty good
