Seems like a very good idea : I find vampires in dom3 to be fairly weak : even medium medium or heavy indeps infantry seams able to win versus an equal number of vampires (maybe not always, but at least most of the time).

Of course immortal is a potentially very powerful ability, but if the creature as nothing else going for it (and don't start with life drain, as vampires without armor nor etheralness die almost immediatly to anything)

By the way, did I miss something with lamias ? I cannot find a use for them : lifedrain and regeneration, as for tht vampires, doesn't save an unit without at least medium armor, their caract are not really impressive, and the second shape, while useful, remove them their lifedrain attack.

having good HP or ways to gain it back (regen and lifedrain)are not useful if any unit, even militia, can hit you most of the time for heavy damage.

Last time I tried to use lamias, it reminded me when I use shamblers to take over the see : can do some damage, one lone arrow or attack won't kill them, but once it start really raining arrows and spells, or when melee start, they drop by the dozen.

Maybe their strength is their numbers (when summonde by a lamia queen or another unit with a bonus) ?

Or did I miss something ?
