About

Info

Can only capture territory belonging to other Vampire Counts factions, or any of man's factions except Norsca.

Raise Dead: New units can be raised from the dead in any province. Famous battle sites provide bonuses to the quantity and quality of options available.

Corruption: Vampiric corruption can be spread in enemy territory, leading to public order problems and even Vampiric rebellions.

Strong battle magic options, including raising of new units from the dead.

Units cause fear, impacting enemy leadership.

Crumbling: instead of routing, units will suffer casualties when losing in combat.
