Did they buff Undead?

I'm playing after a long break and somehow Manfred has knocked out Khemri while I'm playing as Skarbrand.

Never seen that before in Immortal Empires.

Both factions are undead.

And no, Vampire counts have not been buffed recently. They've been buffed since IE launched and nerfed accordingly.

Can go either way.

I had one WE campaign where I reloaded from 10th turn back to first (so, AIs should have same potential values generated at start of campaign). In first variant Mannfred almost eliminated Khemri by turn 10 (last city + no army vs 3 stacks. No way to recover from that), in second variant Settra killed off Mannfred some time before turn 20 (didn't check near this tree at turn 10).

I think it is the randomised faction potential that they introduced in update 4, sometimes an AI faction will be stronger than others, sometimes they will be weaker, like Whatever said some times Khemri gets wiped out early on, and sometimes they end up taking over the entire Southlands, Badlands and making pushes into the Darklands

I am so sick of undead got nerfed many time in total warhammer 2 and 3. to point that undead is no longer fun to played as. I guess Mod already fix those again.

Yup, it rings a bell as well. So my guess is this is the answer.

They get 18% more income from repression buildings that was patched during the last hotfix. Does that count as a buff?
