Vampire Subfactions

This mod splits off necromancers and ghouls into their own sub-factions.

I edited what buildings each faction can build and what units each faction can recruit from each building. That allows me to make each faction have a unique set of units they can build. I also made some additional changes to the raise dead mechanic, edited garrisons, removed the bloodline recruitment mechanic for AI factions. Instead, all vampire (including ghoul) factions have one bloodline lord type that they can recruit as a normal lord. Players still have access to the bloodline mechanic and can decide for themselves which bloodlines their faction should have. I also added faction leader traits to all generic lords.

Units: Everything except for ghouls, crypt horrors, and corpse carts.

Each vampire sub-faction is assigned a bloodline lord that they can recruit normally. I also added the tier 3 bonuses from each bloodline as a faction leader trait.

Factions:
Von Carstein: Drakenhof Conclave, Sylvania, Waldenhof [TOW]
Blood Knights: Mousillon, The Court of Night
Lahmian: Lahmian Sisterhood, The Silver Host, Cult of Mordig [TOW], Boradin Coven [TOW],
Necrarch: Necrarch Brotherhood, The Everliving [TOW], Wamphyro Cabal [TOW]

Units: Zombies, Skeletons, Crypt Ghouls, Crypt Horrors, Corpse Carts, Direwolves, Carrion, Vargheists, Varghulfs, Terrorgheists, Mournguls

Ghoul sub-factions have hidden settlements (like Skaven). They are led by a Ghoul King who has the following faction leader effects:
Frenzy for Crypt Ghouls and Crypt Horrors
Ambush Success Chance: +15%
Vampiric Corruption: +5
Raise Dead Pool Capacity: +2 for Ghouls

Factions: Sires of Mourkain, Strygos Empire, Keepers of the Mountain [TOW], Rametep Dynasty [TOW]

Units: Zombies, Skeletons, Grave Guard, Black Knights, Corpse Carts, Mortis Engine, Crypt Ghouls, Direwolves, Fell Bats

Necromancers can not recruit any vampire units or characters, which are some of the strongest units in the roster. Instead, they focus on outlasting their enemies with perfect vigour and using their cheaper magic to do damage.

Tribes: Templehof, Jiangshi Rebels, Sigmars Brave [TOW], Ghosts of Glanborielle [TOW]

-Terrorgheists are now recruited from exotic animals resource building
-Cairn wriaths are now recruited from the wraiths building instead of the binding circle
-Many units are available for all factions to recruit from landmarks
-Vampire unts (Vargheists, Varghulf, Crypt Horrors, Blood Knights) were removed from the raise dead pool and can only be recruited through buildings.
-Garrisons were modified so that ghoul factions have mostly ghouls in the garrison. Ghouls were replaced with grave guard and skeleton warriors for all other factions. (Note for compatibility: garrison ghouls look identical, but are not the same unit as regular ghouls and may not be affected by other mods)
