And I don't really like vampires in the fifth game. They seem weaker here, or maybe it's just me. I don't know. I just don't feel a connection to them. Maybe because they look like ordinary swordsmen. But despite this, they are still one of my favorite Necropolis creatures (and I don't particularly like Necropolis either), along with liches. Old, upgraded. :).
In the fourth game, they were just overpowered. I always built Broodlings because vampires could be raised as powerful Necromancy units.
And in the fourth game, they were the most "vampiric," if you will. They were real lords, not stooping to dirtying their hands with blood, but simply draining the life force)
Oh! I remembered! I also liked vampires in the second game) They were so cool)
They had such voices) Their attacks were simply amazing - they hit with their claws, but due to the imperfect sprite animation, it seemed like they were just touching the enemy, and he would fall and die from fear).
