All vampire lords under one banner

[Avenger_0047]

is there ANY way to have all of the vampire legendary lords playable at the same time? I mean all of them Vlad, Mannfred, Isabella, Heinrich, And Helman.

Yes. I have all the legendary lords under banners in my current game. No mods. I started with Kemmler (pre-Krell) and Vampire Counts and confederated with Von Carstein two turns after they suffered a military disaster in Wissenland. I was patient with Von Carstein. I did nothing to offend them, made a non-aggression pact and trade agreement. But I did not help them either.
I waited for them to suffer a defeat. Vlad died in the battle at Wissenland, and I waited one turn until Isabella was summoned to raise a new banner for Von Carstein. I then offered confederation with a healthy bribe and my offer was accepted. 2 turns later when Vlad had returned from injury, he was available as a recruitable lord. I stayed with Vlad, Isabella, and Kemmler until Chaos arrived, then I recruited Mannfred. After Chaos was defeated and I had expanded to 7 or 8 provinces, I recruited Ghorst. I was also able to confederate with the Red Duke by allying with the Wood Elves and coming into contact with him before Bretonnia defeated him.

Confederating is the only way to get the lords for the other faction, if the faction only has 1 of the LL then you won't be getting the others. It would be nice if we got the option to recruit the LL for the factions we confederate with since it is even harder to get the orc and dwarf lords when playing as them.
Actually for some races it would even be best to have a lord as a recruitable character after you beat them to a pulp and take their stuff.

I did it only once out of like 5-6 tries on legendary difficulty, but it was before VC could confederate D:

No idea how to confederate now since Vlad and Isabella are in another faction and they don't really want to confederate.

The LL just had to be recruited once, if he gets injured and you confederate you just have to wait the normal amount of time until you can send him into the field again.

I find it easier to achivie if you start as vampire counts, since then you dont have to wait for 3 LL just for Vlad and isabella. THe other way around can take really long until Vampire counts get Kemmler and Ghorst.

The Red Duke is quite simple just scout his terretory and wait till mousalin(?) is sieged normaly he agrees to confederate.

Sure. I did it several Times. You just need do confederade with them.
But if you want it really hard you should try to no assimilate them and have them as allies or Vassals.

Its much harder to keep them alife. In my Von Carstein Campaigns i usualy try to keep Temlephof, Vampire Counts and Moussillion alife and help them spread out.
Hardest is Tempelhof. They usualy die first.
But its alot of fun to have the Old World ruled by 4 Vampire Nations.

as a playable character in multiplayer pvp, but not in any of the campaigns, he must be mistaking them
