It could be made even more interesting!!! For vampires, reduce the amount of life they drain based on the damage dealt (i.e., not 100% of the damage, but at least 50%, and if the hero is a vampire specialist, then 80%).
BUT! Add the ability to transform an enemy creature into a "lesser vampire"... i.e., if a vampire's attack on a group of creatures is the final blow, and the group dies, some of them rise on the side of the Necropolis with reduced stats and a slightly altered appearance... and, of course, at the end of the battle, these creatures die from sunlight:) That would be awesome!!!:))) In any case, the Necromancer's war tactics would change in that case.

+ in the Castle we make peasants racial enemies of vamps :)))
like they are all covered in garlic :))) + increased damage against vamps (like everyone has aspen stakes in their hands :))) Imagine how the 4th tier will be running away from the first across the battlefield :))))
+ let's introduce a hero with a specialization - undead destroyer (inquisitor) = like if he meets some unholy Necromancers - time to wipe them out.... the gist is - by sacrificing a certain number of peasants (or someone else), this hero's monks deliver a f**king same-//disintegrating magical strike against some squad of unreliable dead... or Inferno :)))) Let's call the hero Father Etlau - in honor of you-know-who :))))))))))
Basically, we'll crush the necromancer like talibs right in the bud :))))))

2Ellin: Vampires already regenerate 50% of the damage they take, both regular units and lords.

Well then, let them restore 25%):)
+ let's add a special ability to the hellhounds!!! Upon seeing a vampire, they start barking loudly, warning the Hero that vamps are somewhere nearby!!! Considering they will only meet on the battlefield, an HoMM player with serious vision problems will have an additional plus!!!
Nival should actually think about this!!!
By clicking a special option, a visually impaired player gets a hellhound guide dog... It will search for resources itself, warn about vampires + play autobattle instead of the player... + if the guide hellhound is upgraded to a three-headed Cerberus, the barking will be even more distinct!!!
Here's the point!
People with vision problems are about 1%... potentially 50% of them could play Heroes... just in Ukraine alone, that's roughly an additional 245000 licensed copies sold:))))

Okay, let it be a sword. Remember the art from Heroes IV called Soulsbane, which drained life? We can assume that this sword ended up with the Necropolis faction, and they started mass-producing it! :) :) :)

Wow, the imagination is running wild:eek:. At this rate, we'll end up playtesting a completely different game before the release:) .

Yes, indeed, imaginations have run wild, so please share your suggestions in this thread.

Regarding the vampire with a sword – IMHO – it’s a perfectly normal option... I was watching "Underworld 2" the other day, and they were wielding swords quite normally... Regarding realism... for example, let's give him an attack with fangs... well, he bit a hydra... let's say he killed it... then, according to "medieval legends of the peoples of Europe," after a couple of turns, the hydra's corpse, spread out over 4 squares, should rise from the ground with fangs and sharp ears and go bite its former comrades... as a result, the balance will be completely ruined:)
Let him wield a sword!!! It's a battle!!! and then he can drink blood in his free time from "fighting"... we're not saying that demons should bring a cauldron of tar to the battlefield???:)))... and druids should walk around with a bag of fly agarics and seeds of Uzbek grass....:)))
IMHO – a sword – and that's it!!!!

Hydras will rise in the form of vampires, or maybe as werewolves:)
And why would demons need a cauldron of tar? And a druid is a protector of nature, and he wouldn't pick mushrooms:mad:

+ In the Castle, we make peasants sworn enemies of vampires:)))
like they are all covered in garlic:))) + increased damage to vampires (like they all have aspen stakes in their hands:))) Imagine how the 4th Haven unit will run around the battlefield, attacking from the very beginning:))))
+ we introduce a hero with a specialization - a destroyer of the undead (inquisitor) = like if he meets unholy necromancers, he will start exterminating them.... the point is that by sacrificing a certain number of peasants (or someone else), the monks of this hero inflict a devastating magical blow on some detachment of unreliable undead... or Inferno:)))) Let's call the hero Father Etlau - in honor of you know who:))))))))))
In short, we will crush the necromancer like the Taliban in its infancy:))))))

Monks are servants of light, helpers of people, they bring light to society and will definitely not sacrifice anyone:mad: :mad: :mad:

Monks are servants of light, helpers to people, they bring light to society and certainly won't sacrifice anyone:mad: :mad: :mad:

But what if a monk has gone a little mad and now his only goal is to sacrifice everyone to rid the world of the dark guys? :)

What if the monk has gone a little crazy and his only goal now is to sacrifice everything to rid the world of the dark guys? :)

For this to happen, he would have to be hypnotized:D Otherwise, he would never do something like that, because he would get a smack on the head for it:D :D :D

And if he is some kind of cultist, this Etlau?

Friends! Father Etlau is the most colorful character of Nick Perumov ("Diamond Sword, Wooden Sword" + sequels) — in my humble opinion, this is one of the most vivid narratives in Fantasy:)
As for the idea that "Monks are servants of light, helpers to people, who bring light to society and certainly wouldn't sacrifice anyone"... that's a debatable point... Any fantasy world implies societal development at a Middle Ages level... = illiteracy, etc. = faith turning into unhealthy fanaticism:)))) and even in our world, any man would more likely believe in a crazy monk (Example - White Brotherhood) than in a vampire... especially a high one... especially with a sword....
The essence of the monks' strike against the undead = the "Savior's Magic" branch of magic:) the suffering of sinners (and anyone at hand can be one) through torture generates a huge amount of energy, embodied as a magical strike against "sneaky creatures":))))
