Noble Vampire Houses

Description
Please check out some of my other mods that goes well with this for a nice Vampire Campaign
http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197973969116/myworkshopfiles/

Story / Reasoning
The Vampire Counts have always had close ties with humanity and especially the Empire hence the name "Counts" as in Elector Counts of the Empire.

The first among these Vampiric Counts is Vlad who Married the old dying counts dughter many centuaries ago, his daughters name was/is Isabella.

Vlads Goal was never to destroy humanity neither to turn all of the empire to vampire ridden wasteland, what he wanted was to become the everliving Emperor of the empire and rule over both Human houses and the Undead.

One of Vlads famous lines are "Surrender and serve me in life, or die and slave for me in death."

And since those days the Vampire counts have always been about scheming to overthrow the Empire rule by any means neccery, be it diplomacy / Necromantic Power or dark plots with suspicious deaths among the noble houses in the Empire.


What this mod Aims to do is enhance this diplomatic game of the Vampire counts / Von Carstein Factions, towards the human factions of the Empire + a slight nodge towards Brettonia aswell.

This is not to ment to be a mod for beeing all friendly with the human factions but to help you plot devious plans for taking over the empire.




Mod Effects.

This Mod changes the Technology tree skill Infiltrate Noble Houses.

Instead of : +10 diplomcay with all factions

It now gives +20 with Empire, +10 with Brettonia and +5 with all factions.

So a slight trade off, while effectivly giving you +10 diplomacy with empire factions since still a -15 aversion, and with the brettonia just effectivly removing the aversion but not giving anything positive more then that.

I recommend using this mod with other mods Buffing the Empire as race/faction and playing on rather Hard Difficulty when it will become neccery for you to not be at war with all the Empire factions at once.

Thank you for this mod. It never made sense to me that the Vampire factions and the human factions didn't get along. The Vampire factions, gain nothing from being hostile towards the human factions.

@meuhoua, well I kinda understand you but I actully only wanted make it for Empire factions as the Vampire counts focused on getting in with them, but then I realised Mousillion existed.. heh and how they kinda do the same fluff wise with brettonia so thats why I added it for brettonia aswell but I'm not sure I want to make it for every human faction, sry.

May be you could add a bonus to others human civilised factions as all Southerns Realms.

If we were only talking about blood right, Vlad is the only member left of the original Stirland dinasty, and by now the rightful heir of the empire. However he's a vampire, and he brought like 50 years of bloody ruthless war to the empire until he was finally defeated, not really a popular candidate anymore.

Well done!!

oh don't get me wrong, I'v allied plenty of times with empire factions without this mod, this mod is for those that want to play diplomatic slower route with the vampire counts / von carsteins, for perhaps story reason, not all empire factions in the fluff know if sylvanian lands are Human or undead still lurking or not, vampire counts usually stay hidden and Rein from the shadows, unless open war.

I play a campaign advanced AI mod that increases difficulty + mods for Empire factions, basically like 25% less recruit cost and upkeep, and extra 50 growth all regions for all empire factions, it's pretty hard.

Without this mod I get my ass handed to me currently, get swamped in like 6 20 stack armies with elite stuff early on, thats why I made this mod for myself, since I found it pretty fun to play against a hard empire and do the diplomatic route to survive and perhaps conquer

Actually, it's possible to ally with Empire-factions as the VC's already. On my last campaign I had several Empire factions (though not the actual Empire) sue for peace and than ask me for an Alliance once Archaeon started marching south. IIRC (this was a couple months ago) I had trade deals with them, too.

Still, this seems like a good project. Maybe have human-allied sides count toward overall campaign victory?

@Nurgle, it's actully both, as he's been quoted of saying that in multiple places, codexes and novels, in different variations.

but the most common one / well known one is: 'Surrender and serve me in life, or die and slave for me in death.'

Vald's quote is "Serve me in life, or serve me in death."
