Petition for the Marginon CoTS Theme

I've thought alot about what exactly to do about the Counts in BF. I don't want to cripple the Themes thematic glory (Yay vampires) but keeping it balanced. I don't think you can make Starting spells require a specific research level (Kristoffer might know) before they become active.

Maybe you could make a non combat Version of the Vampire called a "Sanguine Hunter" or "Sanguine Sacrifice" that has a wait period (like 4 turns, or 5 turns, depending on the balance issue) before it transforms into the Vampire Count like how a normal unit transforms into a Werewolf.

It's kind of a workaround for starting spells, but it might still work if you can't set the starting spell at a research level (like Blood 4).

It's an idea to slow the speed, but still get the original intented unit.

Edit: You could even name the unit "Topor" or "Coffin" or something, give it decent defense/protection so it can't be killed by breathing on it.
