Vlad is a hungry boy 

That actually makes a lot of sense

I did not know that, that's insightful

There is a mod called "Cpecific's Trait Manager" that can disable traits again, very useful to remove bad traits. Without it, defeating certain legendary lords is actually very 'expensive', coming at the cost of a permanently locked trait slot.

Does it really work like that? I'm not sure. It always felt like it only happened to DE legendary lords that I don't get their trait and I've not necessarily beaten many other LL's? Tends to mostly happen with Malu's trait, not sure though, could be that there's a cap as you said^^

It most likely does not work like that. Some moders have tested it extensively, and from their experiences, there is a limit to the number of trait a lord can potentially get. While most valuable traits (usually the ones from defeated legendary lords) get acquiered instantly, some other traits gets more time and or action to get. As an example, (I don't remember the max number of traits available, let's say it's 30 traits max) if you find yourself locked at 29 traits, when you should have 30 (and you just defeated a LL for your 30th trait, but you did not get it) it is most likely because you have an "hidden" trait in progress. Like "Gore drenched". You lost a significant portion of your army during a battle, but not significant enough, or enough time to unlock the 1rst tier of gore drenched, yet, you still started to make progress toward the trait, starting to acquire it without having the effect yet. But then again, maybe there are 2 separated list for normal and LL traits, because one odd thing is, when you force the game to add a trait beyond your lord's cap (cheat), the game nukes out every LL traits your lord has, but not the others...

Hellebron's response is to quote Caesar: "Apes strong together!"

In ww2 the was an american solider that captured an entire squad of nazi because the commander was scared by the shooting tecnique of the american and ordered at all soldier to surrender

@@alessandronoe3768 ah you mean the famous story of americans shooting grenades outta air straight back into the german ranks.... my grandpa told me it's a true story and many died to an american "hobby". realistically, probably a good day for the planet but really sad for my ancestors.

Vlad upon seeing these three armies. "When hope is gone, undo this lock, and send me forth, on a moonlit walk!"

PARTY PARTY PARTY!

a very enthusiastic walk

Does that make Morathi or Hellebron the Police Girl? Isabella/Integra won't be happy!

@@NexusNoxCS Maybe Manfred is Police Girl, he just crossdresses on weekends and moonlights as a spunky british cop in Altdorf xD

i need this illustrated

He should be a Vampire/Empire hybrid faction

@@MZ-9993 nah rather he do more vampire stuff

It's a shame Vlad was FLC because it meant that he was not going to have a lot of new mechanics added to his faction. If he was a full fledged DLC faction then I could see him having a human/undead hybrid roster. But as things stand now, I doubt CA is going to revisit him

@@ZoMbi5lAy3r Most of the FLCs in WH2 brought unique mechanics; Alith Anar with his Skaven-like playstyle, Imrik with his unique dragons, Rakarth's beasts, etc. There's a chance that Vlad (and Isabella) will get updates

@@ZoMbi5lAy3r would have been better if he was the race leader instead of mannfred

well he is not wrong.

Damn good timing

I was looking for someone to get that xD

Understandable really when you see Vlad

Just wait until you see Ikit's skavenslave spam.

But very staunchy

I once fought a Malekith army that was all Dark Riders. It was so sad to auto resolve and lose next to no soldiers.

Yeah and Then Vaashnar spawns in the Most Northwestern Region by the mung whith His Doom stack and litterly destroys my caimpaing

_Dreadspears charges_ APPARENTLY IT'S GREAT!

@@JagEterCoola Isabella: “Mannfred....... be honest with me...... what are we looking at in terms of collateral......”

@@Redneckkratos "Well, sir... The Vlad amount"

Best power couple in history

same, by far my most played campaign but i really love magic soo, yea ofc i paly vc ^^

Yes

She also kept knocking him over, so he couldn't hit her back. I think that was a big part as well. Rakarth didn't seem to knock him over as much, so he was able to kill Rakarth so much faster.

hmm you seem to be missing her charge bonus in your calculations, which is 65. so on the charge her melee attack would be 59 + 65 = 124 and thats without the difficulty modifier. so even without the difficulty modifier she would be at around 60% hit rate on the charge

@@Glo0ze True. And I missed that she got in a second charge with witchbrew (+24 MA and +50% damage) as well, after punting Vlad once her first charge ran out. Still, she seemed to do about 1000 damage through some 80-90% magic resistance. That's more than I would have expected through her regular attacks.

@@Monochromatic_Spider yeah i agree its still a lot of damage

Lore Accurate Vlad is terrifying. Also, he'd have a mount.

Lore accurate would be watching him get impaled, laugh it off, and then go into monolog. He's truly undying from his ring and somewhere in the ballpark of a slann in magical potential, being able to single handedly raise entire armies on his own, control them, and still not be hindered enough to distract him from his ego fueled rage. Took bad writing and a thief that stole said ring for them to even have a chance to permanently kill him.

@@Rafael_Fuchs Vlad also took a canon ball to the face and came back like nothing happened....

They need to do something about him spending do much time on his back though

true, hoping they get rid of it in wh3.

haha misogyny

This ties in with Vlad's mount joke

@@Louiseholm well yes but actually no

@@Louiseholm nigga whar

@@Louiseholm bruh Vlad killed himself Form Here hows that mysoginy

What would that involve?

And then Tariff must play that savefile on a livestream

It's pretty fun! Grabbing a tainted Elven artifact with the essence of Chaos himself and then annihilating all Elves was an enjoyable campaign.

And then he dies and a skarsnick appears as a reinforcement just to laugh at him

Yep, trying to farm or let alone get Isabella's trait a single time is next to impossible depending on your starting location, the faction simply dies so fast. Sometimes the AI also outright refuses to recruit Isabella as long as they have one of the Blood Kiss LL in their pool.

In all of my games of WH2 so far, the Vampire Counts always do well and I always see Isabella out and about

that's what legend usually does with VC, using a blob of skeletons (as skeletons are free)

He could've just summed a lot of zombies throughout the battle to draw them in

​@@baudsp yeah for VC sure nothing changes there with one man doomstack but for other races i feel chaff is fine. May be not full stack but just 5 units or spearman so something

@@Prophetofcthulhu Yeah, the thing is with skeletons being free and being very useful to blob the enemy there's really no reason to take a 1 man doomstack. It's just for the memes really. I don't think there's anything wrong with having some chaff in other factions too, however in most battles the chaff will all die, and you might not want to wait to recruit them again.

@@Prophetofcthulhu in reality though, it's more for the memes for all the factions. Any of the 1 man doomstacks that weren't mages sent in, could've really used a mage on a flying mount casting spells around them.

yep pretty pointless, just for the memes really.

no we dread them. I am going to see myself out now.

Gor-Rok with Life Slann nearbye

This is my campaign, I maxed out of traits much earlier in the campaign, even before I picked up the SoK, when I killed Throgg and didn't get his trait. However I was then still able to later get Bloody/Gore-Drenched, which I didn't think I was going to be able to get. And then obviously I got the curse much later once I had the SoK, so I don't really know how it works.

Maybe, But there seem to be some traits which ignore this cap. IIRC i had a maxed out on traits lord get the insane trait even tho he was at the cap, but im not 100% sure. might be the same for this trait?

I'm just glad no one made it before I had time to finish mine, (this is my save file.)

yeah he's a 10/10

Why not Make a doubel doomstack with Isabella

Sorry pal, I was worried someone would beat me too it too.

@@TheWildBor no worries 😂 yours was better than my was turning out anyway 😀

and vlad needs the ward save from SoK
