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.

love the thumbnail

@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."

That sounds really neat! I'm looking forward to it. I think the event system in the game is under utilized as it is, there's room for so much more!

@Varsocona , Thanx! yeah kinda what I was hoping for it would be, it's not everything I want, I'm still working on a bigger mod that adds events, and other interesting mechanics between the empire and Vampire counts.

I want meaning full choices to come now and then that might you a really close ally or even subjugate another human faction but in turn make a couple of others really hate you and go to war with you, but this other mod is far from done, but this is a small step towards that atleast :)

I like the idea of this tweak, it falls so much more in line with the lore.
