Lore of Undeath

This mod changes every spell for lore of vampires and undead passive abilitys

I feel that vampire counts get hit really hard by having no ranged troops and being so slow. its like shooting fish in a barrel. i thought it more interesting and lore friendly to make the spells they use more powerful and cheeper.

By far the strength of VC and TK on the table top is there ability to replenish troops every turn, summon new soldiers and buff them to neer inviscibility for a turn. This was sorely lacking in vanilla. Heinrich Kemmler almost singlehandedly destroyed bretonnia. Just saying. They're powerful.

Changes:

i made most of the spells cost about half as much, increased some durations, made the cost of some area effect upgrade spells cost the same as the unovercast version and lowered cast range. (the ai wasn't using them often enough) I increased the ammound healed by invocation of nehek by 233.3333 percent. from (15 to 50)


What you will see is:

Necromancers and vampires being the main focus of the force and your attention.
More spells being utilised.
Fallen troops being resurrected more and in larger chunks.
Solong as the summoner is 'alive' you will be hardpressed to win. They just won't stay dead for long.

Tips for battling against the dead -

Focus everything on the lord and/or necromancers
Don't let your elite units get 'tar pitted'.
Strike hard and fast if possible. (sorry dwarfs)
Split your force for longer engagments.
Make them waste magic.
Fighting in a battle line isn't going to get you very far.
Keep the necromancer away from his forces.
Avoid using heroes against lore of death users.


Have fun :)
