A new race: Vampires.

Truly talented! I liked your idea! Can you also come up with alternate upgrades? Well, share them too, it's very interesting! If it's not too much trouble for you... You have a great imagination!

Don't doubt it! ;)

Alright... Here are possible alternate upgrades for the vampire race (a race that doesn't exist and never will) at the request of the same forum user.
The damage of the creatures will be the same as for other "grayed" ones. Only additional skills.

Level 1: Slave Craftsmen. They can repair broken machines and build a second selected machine once per battle if needed.
Level 2: Meat Eaters. Ability "Devouring of the Nearby" - This is an improved "Cannibalism," i.e., Meat Eaters can use it without spending a turn, but the ability also applies to living creatures and allies.
Level 3: Vampire Butlers. Immune to Chaos magic caused by the element of Ice. They can also grant any friendly creature the ability to attack with poison (apparently, instead of poison, it's stale soup or spit tea, sorry for the pun). They also have an interaction with the hero, i.e., if "Chain Lightning" hits the butlers, the lightning will deal more damage after them.
Level 4: Vampire Arbalesters. It's not hard to guess what they are armed with ;) , right? They have 30% of attacks (including melee) with critical damage (+20 hits each), and shots without penalties.
Level 5: Blood Sorceresses: Skill "Call of Darkness," i.e., a random Dark spell of any magic circle is cast on the selected creature (5% chance to cast "Unholy Word") and the ability to cast "Vampirism" on any ally.
Level 6: Corpse-Eating Dragons. They can feed on corpses and counterattack three times after their turn. They can be controlled until their 4th turn (apparently, they were made more obedient :) ) 10% chance to freeze when attacking an enemy.
Level 7: Princes of Darkness. Immune to Dark magic (and to "Holy Word"). They can reduce the initiative of any creature by 10% per hit.

That's all. There wasn't enough inspiration for a biography. Dear admins and moderators, please delete this topic. It no longer makes sense.

TibWar, all this is cool, but the vampire race will not be in Heroes 5! Because many people don't want it (including me), and secondly, no one will make it! But if you have nothing to do, you can come up with whatever you want. But your imagination really does its job, and I appreciate that!:)

Thank you! :) +1 for the message, 3DogMZA!
