That'd be cute, but I don't think the game currently has streams, as evidenced by their implementation on Cradle.

Or automatically suffers the equivalent of a 'petrify' on defense (or auto-routs) because what sane commander would attack her at *night* ? No, no , attack her during the daytime !

Dominions doesn't really have a good concept of night and day, so concepts like attacking at night don't really exist.

Susceptibility to fire, anyone ?

I wasn't aware Vampires were exceptionally flammable. There are certain fires that cause 3x damage to undead, though. Built-in fire susceptibility would leave a potential gap in the defenses, even with elemental armor equipped, though. Sounds cool, though, if you could find a source for it.

Don't think too many other folklore based limitation would really apply too well in the confines of the Dominions II engine, though.

Maybe you could add a special item like "garlic", a misc item that gives +20 defense vs. vampires.
