Similarly to Warriors of Chaos, Vampire Counts must corrupt the terrains they move through. This can lead to a situation in which you will be able to recruit Black Knights at 12th turn. They have a limited amount of troops they can resurrect, but if a Lord ventures towards an area where a lot of units died (where a large battle took place), he will be able to recruit the most powerful Vampire Counts units. They don't have to wait for a number of turns to finish this process, it happens instantaneously. Aside from the normal recruitment method, Vampire Count Lords can use the Raise Dead ability to quickly raise some units from the dead, recruiting them into army during the same turn. Their most distinctive trait is the Raise Dead ability. This also causes their armies to be completely obliterated in case they lose a battle - there won't be anyone to retreat from battle as everyone will crumble. The lower the discipline, the higher the damage they receive. Instead, every unit with low discipline will start taking damage. When they suffer low discipline they won't route. Vampire Count's discipline works different than in other factions. Flying and mobile units are what makes up for their lack of missile and artillery units, and allows them to have a unique approach when sieging a settlement. They can recruit three different flying units capable of serving different purposes, and their Lords and Heroes can have powerful flying mounts. Their biggest difference in army compared to other factions is quite a wide access to flying units. Furthermore, all of them cause fear, decreasing the enemy discipline, and a large portion of them cause terror as well, causing enemies to run away in fear. Fortunately, they make up for it with numerous mobile units, capable of moving a lot faster than their equivalents in other factions. They can't recruit any missile or artillery units, which forces them to rely on a more aggressive and direct approach in battles - you can't just stand and wait for the enemy to come at you. The army of the Vampire Counts differs from other factions.
