Vampire Counts Bloodlines Fine-tuned

This mod's purpose is to modify the BLOODLINES bonuses of the Vampire Counts, in order to make the rituals of awakening more gameplay meaningful and lore-friendly, while also taking care to not make OP changes, following the leitmotif of the Vampire Counts Fine-tuned series.

Not only the bonuses have been buffed overrall, new perks have been added, some of which are brand new effects.

I have refrained from making a full overhaul in order to guarantee broad compatibility with other popular mods. However, do feel free to make suggestions in the comments.


Just the fact you're using this mod gives me joy, but if you can, please rate and favorite the mod in order to spread it further in the community:

Wights Martial Training: Blood Dragon perk that grants +3 MA to all permanent *Wight* units and lords. This encompasses Graveguards, Black Knights, Wight Kings and Krell. Keep in mind the bonuses will only apply to modded permanent versions of Krell, as no summoned unit can benefit from effects in TW2.

Abhorash’s Tenacity: Blood Dragon perk that grants Perfect Vigour to all *Blood Dragon* units and lords. This encompasses Blood Knights, Blood Dragon Lords and The Red Duke.

Masquerade: Lahmian perk that progressively grants +12/+24/+36 diplomatic relations modifier with all factions. As fitting with the vampires’ social charade, this perk is stronger if employed in the early game, before you are world-widely recognized as the bloodthirsty menace you truly are.

Jugulators: Von Carstein perk that grants +50% armour-piercing damage to Dire Wolves and Fell Bats. This may not amount to much at first, but after you have fully supported these units with bonuses, you will see how much more effective they get (even though they will still be unrecommended for armour match-ups).

Faustian Design: Necrarch perk that grants -10% cooldown rate to all spells, including those obtained by items, as long as they qualify as such.

Dusk Creepers: Strigoi perk that grants Stalk to all Crypt Ghouls units, an attribute usually reserved to the Feasters in the Dusk. Does not apply to summoned ghouls.

This mod should be compatible with most mods, with the exception of those that override the bloodlines effects bundle or data core unit sets.

This is compatible with Aexrael's Vampiric Resurgence

Also compatible with my Vampire Counts Units Fine-tuned, Vampire Counts Tech Tree Fine-tuned, Vampire Counts Magic Fine-tuned and Vampire Counts Lords and Heroes Fine-tuned.


No, it is not compatible with SFO or similar grand overhauls.

Please comment if you find any specific compatibility issue.


This mod benefitted from the troubleshooting of Cryswar and Vandy, thank you!
