The Red Duke Expanded

Moves the Red Duke out of Mousillon to the eastern edge of the Grey Mountains. His faction is now the Scourge of Aquitaine, which is a renamed Court of the Night faction that serves as Elspeth's starting enemy in Immortal Empires. Another Vampire Lord named Merovech the Mad now takes his place as leader of Mousillon if Mixu's Mousillon mod isn't active.

The Rogue Army named Scourge of Aquitaine has been renamed to Remnants of Bregonne, which was also in Total War: Warhammer II.

The Scourge of Aquitaine is only playable in Immortal Empires.

New units exclusive to the Scourge of Aquitaine:

Dismounted Blood Knights: recruited from Vampire building level 2, Blood Keep landmark in Nuln, and Altdorf landmark. Blood Knights and Dismounted Blood Knights in the Scourge of Aquitaine faction has different helmets and updated appearances.

The Blood Keep land mark can be built by the Scourge of Aquitaine on tier 3 instead of 5. The tier 5 version grants "Greater Hunger" ability that replaces "The Hunger" ability for Vampire units and characters in the Scourge of Aquitaine faction. This ability grants vigour regeneration in addition to HP regeneration in melee.

Archery Wights: recruited from Forest buildings level 2 and 3. Smaller unit size archers that replenishes ammunitions when shot by arrows and bolts. Unit cap increased by Forest buildings. Replaces Mournguls.

Hellsteed Riders: recruited from Vampire building level 1. Flying cavalry units with stats between Pegasus Knights and Royal Pegasus Knights. Replaces Vargheists.

Mercenary Knights: recruited from Major Settlement core building level 2. Expensive mortal cavalry unit with a unit cap increased by Couronne and Altdorf main buildings, Copher Dock, and one of Red Duke's unlock able skill. Intended to be used in low Vampiric corruption regions before unlocking Blood Knights.

Mournguls and Vargheists are still available via Raise Dead.

Requires Mixu's Mixer.

Not fully tested, and will likely need balancing.

Enjoy!

Known issue/to be fixed:
The Red Duke's unique weapon and armour ancillaries can sometimes disappear completely after 20 turns of being granted by the level up.
Dual weapon animation weapon bones are buggy on the campaign map.
"Greater Hunger" is granted to Vampire characters automatically, whether or not they have unlocked "The Hunger" from their skill trees yet.
His faction colour on the campaign map is still the original light green, it cannot be changed at this time.
If Mixu's Mousillon mod isn't active, the Red Duke is still shown as the faction leader for Mousillon on the faction selection screen.
Currently not compatible with the Blood Keep building added in OVN's Lost World.
