IMO, it was done intentionally. Because otherwise, Necropolis would dominate everyone. And if they put 100% in the description, people would scream about imbalance!
But this way, it's clever... Not everyone will notice... I was looking for it for a month, and I only noticed it recently :)
In general, I think it's an intentional "feature" and no one will fix it!

it's not a certainty, but it's possible. This bug was mentioned on the Nival forum, so maybe they'll fix it, although you never know what the developers might do.

Dark Knights are just plain awful. Today, in a Necropolis campaign where I had to kill Cyrus, I took them into my army. What a bunch of freaks! And their description is idiotic – when they were kicked out, it didn't explain who or why. They don't resemble vampires at all, but the description says they are vampires; they're more like zombies with a pot on their head and a lollipop in their hands. And in general, the lore about the appearance of these monsters is weak.

Well, if you have clumsy hands, or you're playing a barebones version of the game, then it's not our fault...

The game version is official. But according to the description, these are "higher vampires exiled from the dark world of Necromancers"... so think about what you're writing.

In my opinion, the Necromancer's main offensive force consists of skeletons (archers) and liches, while vampires in the latest version are more suitable for absorbing damage (which is a pity!). Towards the end of the game, half a thousand Titan skeletons can easily take down groups of 7-8 enemies. Plus, zombies are resilient, it's just a shame that by the time they reach the enemy, there's nothing left...

zombies are also decent, but their attack power is weak. The best units are GHOST ARCHERS and DEATH HARVESTERS. Vampires are complete garbage. I was able to gather up to 2500 skeletons.

Zombies aren't bad, but the attack power of Ghost Archers and Death Knights is much better. Vampires are complete garbage. I can get 2500 skeletons.

Aren't you ashamed of yourself??? You proudly bear the title of Necromancer! Vampires may not be visually appealing, but their regeneration ability will never make them a weak unit!

Vampires are simply not as durable. I remember in Heroes of Might and Magic IV, 5 vampires were a force to be reckoned with. But in this game, even 20 of them don't seem to do much.
However, when their numbers exceed 90, they become a real threat – they overwhelm with sheer numbers, swarming and taking down mages and titans alike...
They have a significant advantage – they are effective at blocking smaller ranged units (elves, crossbowmen, etc.).
Liches are powerful, and dragons seemed stronger to me.

Yes, vampires are good, but only when there are many of them...
Dragons are weak (bone dragons for sure, spectral dragons (or whatever they're called) are decent... for level 5).
And liches are excellent ranged attackers!

Look, the vampires' appearance is a plus, and I'm glad they made them that way. As for their strength, retaliation always ruled, and on top of that, they have weak but still regeneration. A good monster for blocking ranged units... ;)

What can I say, the vampires look great, I'm glad they made them like this. As for their strength, retaliatory strike has always been a strong point, and on top of that, they have weak regeneration. A good monster for blocking ranged units... ;)

They had roughly the same regeneration in Heroes of Might and Magic III. And retaliatory strike is always a huge plus, which is why I like them.

vampires are still awful; they only look good, but otherwise, as you said, they're weak. And their regeneration is very weak compared to those in the 4th game, especially. So, no matter what I wear (or who I wear, or don't... use), vampires are complete garbage. Please be objective.
