Mod: Nosophoros - The Vampire Lords

[HoneyBadger]

Thilock_Dominus: I was thinking today that, considering how professional looking your OP is, the only things this Mod seems to lack are "concept art" (as in, detailed drawings of what the sprites are intended to represent), and a soundtrack/mixtape (violin music?).


Also, I was wondering why the Vamp Nobles get Fire on their greatswords? Cold would seem more appropriate (these guys seem to be somewhat cold-oriented), unless the Nobles are intended to be killing their own.

Thanks

Yep, it need that ^_^

It's because of the rivalry with the Pureblood Vampire Lords. There's an internt fight among the Pureblood Lords and the Non-Pureblood Lords. So the Non-Pureblood Lords have used fire weapons to fight the Purebloods.

New Patch (1.01)

• The Nosophoros GUI for Dominions 3 have been greatly improved (screenshots updated in that event).
• A new Nosophoros Icon are made (can been found in the first post).
• Ivan the Vampire King (premade pretender) have been reworked to fit the new changes in v.1.01

Biggest changes in this patch is that the Vampire King and Dark Summoner have been balanced (in hope that the mod will be used for MP purpose).
The Necromancer and Shadow Necromancer (Hero) have been reworked for that matter.

Also Nosophoros: The Vampire Lords Wiki site is almost complete. You can find every bit of information, everything from unit stats to weapon stats etc. http://dom3.servegame.com/wiki/Nosop..._Vampire_Lords

Heya Thilock. Just thought I'd note that your preview image appears to be the thumbnail only -- I was trying to find a preview image to put in my little archive of Dom3 mods and couldn't get it to come up full-sized. So, dinking with the URL, I found the real one, if you want to update it on the OP:

www.imageviper.com/displayimage/146634/0/Nosophoros.jpg

(The one you have up is image # 146633. I just tried incrementing it up by one and lucked out. Apparently, the following filename doesn't matter to this image host as long as it's present in the URL. Also, as a side note, your other in-game screenshots suffer from the same problem, but I didn't hunt down the full-size images as they were available on your wiki page.)

Cheers, and I look forward to trying it out when I get the chance.

I noticed something strange when playing this mod. So, I took a w9 bless for the black rose order and setup 2 armies for expansion. The first is commanded by a prophetized black rose lord + 15 black rose guards + 30 children of the night. The second is commanded by a dark mystic and a skeleton commander and consists of 15 black rose guards and a few skeleton guards.

Now lo and behold the first army does alright expanding, however the 2nd army also gets free soulless every time the battle ends (supposedly from the vampiric great sword fatalities). Is that a bug, a mod conflict or WAD?- If WAD why only in 2nd army?
