Any update on this please?

They should have made her a legendary hero from the start. Makes no sense for her to be a lord. There is a long list of characters in this game right behind her.

Anyone know if this is compatible with the Old World mod? I assume no, but wanna make sure.

@Infin-Vec
I thought about it ages ago but I recall it being more trouble than it's worth, or rather, I didn't have the time or inclination to do it (start_pos shenanigans and more scripting)

If someone finds a way to do it I'd be happy to add it though!

Is it possible to make non-player Vlad/Isabella faction use Isabella as faction leader or choose faction leader randomly every new campaign game?

@Infin-Vec
If you aren't playing Vlad/Isabella then the faction leader will be Vlad every time; he'll hire Isabella as another Legendary Lord some time after Turn 1

Updated for baseline 6.1 - no obvious changes were needed after some testing; mainly forcing the Mod Manager to change from the warning icon to the green checkmark icon instead

Will the faction leader for AI enemy be Vlad or Isabella?

tnx!

Thank you for the update

Thanks for updating

Updated for 6.0

6.0 update WIP

I haven't really played VC much but just to be safe they should be starting with the new grave guard halberds unit. Before the patch I didn't see them in the starting units list.

mod not working with latest update

Updated for 5.3 - no changes needed, just forcing the Mod Manager warning icon to go away

It was indeed a Mod conflict ! I solved the problem by setting this mod to the Highest load order 1, thank you very much!!

@Hoshi
Sounds like a potential mod conflict; disable others and only leave this one enabled to confirm (new campaign)

My Vlad starts in pool with 1 turn to return but after 4 turn it is not back yet to be recruited (shows as 1 turn left forever), I also still get Vlad as Hero at the start

@DocHolliday
No worries! Lots of shenanigans from CA under the hood; especially for this little switcheroo they pulled from Warhammer 2 to 3

huh weird lol, I never played Isabella until now so my bad lol. Odd considering the descriptions for the two are just swapped to make it seam like either can be in charge depending on who you select.

@DocHolliday
Unfortunately even with this mod disabled, Vlad is *still* the "face" of Sylvania in diplomacy even when you choose Isabella!

Not much I can do about it with even the mod enabled; that part isn't easily exposed to me (from what I can tell after poking around)

This causes Vlad to pop up in the diplomacy menu instead of Isabella regardless of who I pick.

I see, classic CA modding issue I suppose. Here's hoping you can find a solution without too much effort at some point in the future. Thanks for the info, and the update. Lots of modders don't bother "updating" if there's no actual breakage going on, which I don't blame them for but I appreciate the ones like you who bother with making the icon disappear - it's so annoying to see it on the list and it makes it harder to organize at a glance when you don't know which ones are *actually* outdated

Updated for 5.2 - no changes needed, just making the warning icon go away

@Ashaii Aye that actually bugged me as well, unfortunately due to the way CA had sorted out the internals and scripts involved with converting them from Lords -> Legendary Heroes it caused quite a few bugs, to say the least!

The best way I found (without spending way too much time on this) is the current solution; I'll probably come back to this when I have more time for modding in general, or Vampire Counts get a big update (or CA fixes a lot more of the bugs around this)

Hey there. Wonderful mod, will start using it :)
Minor gripe: would it be possible to delay them getting their quest items a bit instead of instantly awarding them on quest started? Fighting both Vlad and Isabella in full legendary gear from turn 1 sounds a bit rough. I'm not sure on the if this works or how much effort it would be, but an ideal solution for me would be:
Whichever lord is not being played (both if it's an NPC faction this campaign, of course) instantly unlocks their items at the levels where they would normally unlock that item's quest battles, in line with other vanilla lords who unlock items at level thresholds rather than quest battles;
If you're playing as one of them, you unlock that one's quest battles as usual (if this is already the case then mb, the phrasing here on the workshop makes it seem like they both get their items on campaign start in general)

@TorquevonThorne sounds like that mod is incompatible with this one; not much I can do about that right now, sorry!

Hello I found a issue running both this and Vlad restored mod (a graphical mod). If I start a campaign as Isabella, Two versions of Vlad can be recruited. The ordinary Vlad has a cost, the restored Vlad should be free and avaiable at the beginning of turn 2 but he doesn't spawn. Can you make your mod compatible? Poor Vlad needs a nose...

Thank you

Updated for 5.1
Looks like no changes were needed, just making the warning icon go away

Updated for 5.0; minor updates for compatibility, but should be working fine

Updated for 4.2 (no changes required - just checking to see if it works)
Playing a bit after CA's (much needed) course correction post "Shadows of Change" kerfluffle; here's hoping they stay on the right track

pls update

@Dr. Sinclair I think that 1st option would be great. For me for example it is another roleplay opportunty to play sylvania differently. If I wanted I would disable the mod to play as Vlad again, if mod like this ever happens)

@Boyarin_Spice sadly i think that would only be possible by either making her the faction leader of sylvania, which would kick vlad from diplomacy, or giving her her own faction.

Greetings! Thanks for the mod. A little suggestion: is it possible to make Isabella visible in faction and diplomacy screens?

Anyone else cannot recruit necromancers?

Doesn't work for me.

Not having any problems recruiting playing as vlad or isbella, they are always in legendary lord pool.

Sorry to hear about things not going well right now for you! Thanks for the update. Hope things work out.

Absolutely must have, much better this way ! Thank you !

Ty for the update good sir :)

Thank you so much, for all your hard work. Cannot tell you how happy i am right now. Von carsteins are only faction i play. Wishing you the best, hope things work out.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. One of my favorite quotes.

Updated for 4.0 - had to update the wh_quests.lua script override for Isabella and Vlad's Quest Battles & Items to account for the 3 new Legendary Lords (note: went through some super not-good life events, trying to get back to normal by updating these mods, hence the delay)

Did a preliminary check, and no major issues were detected, although I did not pick up the Shadows of Change DLC so I can't really confirm if things are working as intended there

It's suppressing the generic missions when playing as other factions. Took me a lot of time to figure it out. Just might need an update.

The only essential mod for me,i am lost without it

Update needed!

Can you please update? No longer works as of current patch

Please update
