Vampires
Roleplay Info
Children of the night, the vampires rise to glory amidst the chaos they themselves help create. Their perpetual quest for dominance and eternal craving for the blood of the living have given these abominations a lust for war that is unrivalled among any other race. Their darkened hearts only beat for the next upcoming battle, so they waste little time honing their scholarly skills and agriculture is completely unheard of for them. They can feed on the blood of farm animals but this is considered a great humiliation for vampires and they will avoid it whenever possible. Vampires will use any weapon or tactic to beat an enemy and they will go to any length to achieve their goals. This is also why they train and utilize the stealthiest of all assassins, far surpassing the dreaded dark elves. They disdain to use armor, mocking the inferior races with their immortality. All vampire troops excel in their particular fields, except the clerics for which vampires use subdued and blood-bound victims to assist the vampires in battling the forces of the living. Vampires have no code of honour when it comes to preying on victims and they rely on trickery and deceit as often as brute force.
Strengths
Good Fighters, Rangers, and Mages, above average Archers and superior Assassins, excellent Assassination potential, above average Looting potential, amazingly Cannibalistic, good Mana generation, great at spying, and no Mutiny.
Weaknesses
Very very poor food production, poor building, terrible Clerics, below average study, no means of building Weapons, Armor (though they get full usage of Weapons, but dont use armor at all) and War Machines and extremely vulnerable to Resurrection, Healing, Divine Prayer and Purgatory! If you are new in this game it is strongy suggested not to try this race until you have honed your skills in playing a kingdom.
Special Ability
Regeneration - All troops dying in a successful assault or defense, or due to most Spells, are regenerated to fight for the vampires. Resurrection and Healing both permanently kill Vampire troops. Vampire troops that die raiding an enemy kingdom regenerate 50% of their own and 25% of enemy troops.
Immunity - All vampire troops gain increased resistance to enemy Weapons and Armor depending on their victories in battle and own weapon/armor study.
