Ultimate Undead - Vampire Count Overhaul for Steel Faith

This is an Overhaul for the Vampire Count factions that is meant to be played with Steel Faith Overhaul (SFO). It will not work without it, and if you are playing without SFO you are missing out!

This makes the Vampire Counts the true lords of the Undead. Their indomitable will pushes their minions onward, but should they fall, there will be nothing left to hold many of their minions together! Some units that were undead in the game but not in lore have been fixed... and more!

The goal of this mod is to make the Undead feel like actual undead, enforce the idea that the Vampire/Necromancer is truly the source of power holding the army together, and create some interesting dynamics in your armies. Many units are brought closer to lore, and at the same time made more useful so that you consider actually using them in your armies. There are also two new units - Skeleton Horsemen and Grave Guard (Spears). Both are anti-large themed units.

A big thank you to Venris and Steel*Faith for the work they do on the Steel Faith Overhaul.


My Change Notes have gotten to be a bit too big to list here. Here is a link:

Forgive my horrible Unit Card for the Grave Guard (Spears). I am working on it. For now its just something visually different from the base grave guard so you can tell the difference. :)


If you enjoy this mod please remember to

BETA
*******************************************************************************************************************
I am currently beta testing an idea where various lords have different ranges for the Lord of the Undead ability, and it is also granted to heroes on a small scale.

The beta also includes a new unit I am trying out, Greater Crypt Ghoul. it is a high tier ghoul unit that is a mini version of the crypt horror. He fights like a strigoi ghoul king. 11,000 hp, 80 models per stack - excellent anti-infantry. Doesn't fair well against strong cavalry, monsters, or monstrous infantry.

This unit (and possibly one more mid tier ghoul) is to flesh out the Ghoul line of units to create a fun not-undead army to play with this mod, synergizing well with the Strigoi Ghoul King lord and also provide some decent units that wont disappear if your lord dies, I found that it is quite fun to mix up my army composition with this mod, which is one of its goals. I want to add some mostly lore friendly units to support that. In the dozens of campaigns I have completed I have -never- built crypt ghouls or horrors. There was just no need. Grave guard outperform ghouls and vargheists bring more to the table than horrors, with easy access to both. That should not be the case, in my opinion.

Check it out and let me know if you think it is a good direction for the mod:
