But really, the unique building chain for Vlad and Isabella is really a HUGE buff to their faction. Having access to additional vampire heroes early on, instead of waiting for Tier 4, is an incredible boost to a faction that is all about hero Squads and magic users doing the damage while the zombies soak damage.

In the lore, Krell is stated to be one of Nagash most loyal followers along with Arkhan the Black, He also served Nagash in his war against Sigmar Heldenhammer and the early empire of man due to Nagash resurrecting him after his death in battle against the dwarfs. It is also stated that his true loyalties are to Nagash rather then Heinritch Kemmler. It would help make him more interesting to play with as well as players can field him either for Kemmler or Nagash.

I actually find that Kemmler's position isn't so bad if you know what to do. Bretonnia (at least in my experience) is very passive, save for Couronne. If you take Couronne out I find Bretonnia generally doesn't do much and it allows you to consolidate effectively. As for Reikland I've found that if you take the two mountain pass forts (forget their names) the Empire has a much harder time making inroads to your territory. Conversely, taking on the empire from the East side is a lot easier than it is from Mannfred or Vlad's position on the west. For Mannfred you have to take a lot of territory and many forts that you have to make your way through before you can take Altdorf. (which is a big help for the VC since it boosts your economy and you can build a landmark building that builds diplomatic relations with the empire.)
@Pete--3 жыл бұрын
The mountain pass right next to the start is a battlespot for raise dead, so you can get high tier units in the first few turns right next to base, then stomp the bretonnians with varghulfs, cavalry and lots of zombs. Least that's what I did in my current campaign. Then you can confederate the Red Duke to defend things and work with the carsteins to pick apart Reikland.

I am a great VC fan and played all their factions in the original game and in ME. My ranking is a little different: Ghorst is last for me too, but not because he is weak, his mount is awesome, but he's just not as good as the rest. Fourth is Vlad, because his faction buff is the most boring one, and no reason to pick him starting out, because Isabella's buff is vastly superior, as I will explain later. Third Kemmler because his ability to not get any attrition damage is great, and his campaign, even if he starts in a bad position, is fun to play. Second is Mannfred, which is the easiest to play Vamp lord, even if his faction buffs are similar to Vlad's, just a little better, but his campaign starting position is easier to handle. First is Isabella, because her faction buff is the best in the long term for Von Carsteins, 25% damage buff and +3 capacity for Vamps is great, considering their unique faction building is also buffing vampires, so it seems like the obvious choice between her and Vlad. Also having more vampires, which are great assassins, helps you get more blood kisses faster. That is my own personal ranking, and now after writing this its time to start a new playthrough with Isabella xD .

( And we all know VCounts needs that research rush) Finally recently I discovered you can actually use the Greenskins to your advantage, so you can wipe out Brettonia quickly and build up to deal with Reikland. ( But we all know they need a nerf, their infantry is getting super buffed on melee stats making them better than dwarfs... But ok ) So i deserve second place.

Campaign wise My rank would be: Isabella, Heinrich, Ghorst, Vlad, Mannfred Battle wise, it'd be : Vlad, Isabella, Mannfred, Heinrich, Ghorst 0:45 I see what you did there *stares intensely* I disagree with your acessment regarding Ghorst, because Master Necromancers like Ghorst are supposed to be support armies to the vampires. Using a stack of skeletons to exhaust the enemy while the main army works. In Ghorst's case, making corpse carts and mortis engines summon zombies, makes you save winds on raise dead. ( so u can raise grave guard instead ) At the same time going 6 / 6 carts and engines gives you lots of magic to use with Mannfred. In my opinion, Ghorst is supposed to be used together with Mannfred, like Isabella is supposed to be used with Vlad all the time.
@Dexiefy3 жыл бұрын
Personally i would put both Vlad and Mandfred at #1 and most definately would not put anyone but Vlad above Manny. His -15% upkeed for Grave guard alongside the bloodknight bloodline dudes (can't remember the bloodline name) who can get -40% graveguard upkeep is incredibly good. Especially for a faction that has insanely expensive buildings, crap growth and shit economy. Sylvania castles being yours in the first 5 turns of the game is also allowing you to sustain those early grave guard. On top fo that Mandfred also has insane flexibility in terms of magic and is decent combatant. I think Manfred biggest downside is the levels he needs to start shining.
@sympunny86363 жыл бұрын
See the reason isabella is higher, is that graveguard are not the great strength of the vampire counts. Instead it's their heroes/magic and the skeles that you can get for free.

@@Dexiefy see that's the thing, skellies aren't shit, they're free upkeep units that don't rout. The second you get the free skelly tech you can have around 8 armies in the early game and the normal supply line issue of extra 15% doesn't apply because they're free. Pair them with the amazingly buffed heroes that you can get many of at decent lvls, cheaper and more powerful thanks to all of isabella's faction and personal buffs, and instead of the AI overwhelming you with many armies, you overwhelm them. Some skeles will die, but it's so easy to replace them instantly from the raise dead pool. Mid to late you can have an insane amount of armies because they're so cheap and not restricted by supply lines at all.
@Dexiefy3 жыл бұрын
@@sympunny8636 I am well aware of skellies being free. Thats the entire point. As everyone else BUT Manfred you are FORCED to play with skellies only. That is because(because of that tech) everything for vampires is expensive as fuck and gives little to no money (other than investing 25k magic into 500 income ). Also, 3 elite stacks are better than 6 skellie stacks. So yeah, You are missing a point of Manfred literally opening entirely different way fo playing VC or the fact that he is Vampires best caster lord to begin with. Not to mention, you can conquer entire world as VC without ever recruiting a single vampire to begin with. That is because vampire magic is already the strongest magic in the game and there is no real need to pay bonus for access to death/shadow. As an added benefit, having elite stacks as VC also makes vampires magic even stronger as Invocation of nehek becomes way stronger than when it is used on skellies. Also, playing with skellies +magic only vs dwarves is fun i heard.

Got it just recently and it gives some good support units and regiments of renown. Carts and engines made zombies infinitely more useful than they were before from what I've tested, going from like a usual 100-400 damage per fight to a much more considerable 1000-4000 damage because they're able to stay in the fight at a large unit count for so much longer. Can't quite grasp how much more useful the support buffs are to other units yet. The zombies renown unit is also a considerable upgrade for not much cost. The dlc complements the VC playstyle of outlasting their opponents through sheer health pool very well but if you focus more on getting damage in with cav and don't need a resilient front line its probably not as useful. It probably works well with spell focused builds since it buys you more time for cooldowns and magic recharge while the enemy gets stuck in place.

Am I playing wrong? I dominate early cause of the raise dead ability they have but the empire is so overpowering and overwhelming, I get crushed and it’s off putting considering how good I felt with the army I had last time, I thought I was doing great and had some good stuff but I might as well have just not had an army at all with how easy they ran me over
