What is FEAR THE NIGHT?

A complete Vampire Counts Overhaul, that adds 63+ new units and heroes to the Vampire Counts. But that's not all it does. There is a whole lot more. My goal over the 4 Months of build time and testing was to produce one of the largest, most detailed and stable faction overhauls ever created. I hope you enjoy it.


Vampire counts now have access to:
+63 new Units added ( all original Vampire Counts Units remain as well)

+30 new weapons with hand made custom built in game representations.

+27 new spells/abilities

-New Hand drawn/edited textures and gore effects.

-Custom Movement, Mass, Speed, and more for each unit.

-Custom Models never seen before in Warhammer Fantasy battles.

-Complete Necromancy Overhaul, with the NecrOverhaul Submod.

-New Hero/Characters (some of which are beyond anything you could imagine)

-Completely new strategies, and tactics never used by the Vampire Counts are now viable.

-Vampire Counts units like, the Dire Wolves, Zombies, Bats, Vargheists all receiving a boost in effectiveness and late game functionality.

-Special Hero Squads, that buff units, De-buff enemies and provide support even when your Lord is not near.

- Custom made Weapons and Armor Pieces, to completely change the way Vampire Counts look on the Field.

- Never seen before Artillery pieces, Cavalry, War Machines, Chariots and even Dragons!

-Garrison Overhauls for Vampire Counts, adding Fear the Night Units and Tech/building advancements to include even more elite units to protect your Dark Citadels.

-All Vampire Counts Factions get access to the NEW UNITS/Spells/Weapons/Features.

-Compatible in Custom battle/Multiplayer (as long as both players have the mod installed. and Campaign.
NOTE: This mod is designed around Single Player Campaign from the Vampire Counts player POV, so balancing for competitive play/Multiplayer was not a focus, however this shouldn't be a problem, as the units themselves are balanced against pre-existing units.

-Raise Dead Overhaul, which replaces some units and adds new Fear the Night Unit options when raising dead.

-New Buildings/building requirements for some custom Fear the Night units (balanced so you can't get tier 5 units on turn 5 (Sorry Folks).

-TRULY UNDEAD UNITS, without fear. They will fight until they are DEAD, or the enemy is.

-Completely rebuilt tier system for every type of Vampire Count Unit providing tier 1 up to tier 5 Elite Units for all Unit types including Zombies, Skeletons, Wights, Wraiths, Beasts, and Vampires.


-Do you like Zombies, but wish You had more variety, better resiliency and more Undead corpses to toss at your enemies? CHECK!

-Do you want Skeletons that are stronger, with more variety, better strategies and useful in the mid and late game? Done!

-Do you love the Idea of Wraiths/Ghosts but wish you had more options? Just Wait till you see them.

-Do you dream of commanding an entirely effective late game horde of only ZOMBIES?

-What about commanding a horde of apparitions and wraiths to swarm the enemy with supernatural speed all while being almost impervious to non-magical weapons, like the final battle of LOTR?

- Does your inner Vampire Lord despise the thought of rotting corpses and Skeletons? How about a Legion of the finest troops money can buy, consisting of only VAMPIRES. (I am not talking about only Blood Knights, Lords/Heroes.) Way more, way better.

There is so much more I am probably forgetting something, but I will leave it up to you to discover the rest on your own.


QUICK NOTE ON BALANCE:

I am completely aware that some of the units in this mod may provide a Vampire Counts player an unfair advantage against certain factions. This is intended, to express more UNDEAD/Supernatural capability. In instances where a unit was deemed OP, the unit's pricing was adjusted accordingly ( You'll see :) That being said I am more than happy to listen to suggestions and make tweaks in the future. So let me know (peacefully and politely) what you think.
