Nope. In this scenario, the VQ winds up dead, even though she died in friendly dominion, loses magic paths, requires priests to call her back.

(This happened to me in AllTheNations on Mosehansen, at which point it was all downhill.)

Was this in the original All the Nations game? I was playing Machaka, so it was probably me who first defeated your Vampire Queen.

In that game at least the VQ came back inside the capital fort right away. As I was storming the fort, I fought her twice. The second time was much easier as she had taken a hit from a Black bow of Botulf and was feebleminded.

My experience is a bit limited, but I will tell what did work in that battle. First, I thought Dust to Dust would be great against a VQ, but seems it is not. My witch doctors made several hits, but no damage. Either they didn't really hit (it's hard to see) or the damage is not magical so etherealness negates it.

As already said, black bow made the second fight easier - it gives no MR-roll. But what really was useful was the web spit of spider knights. A hit from the web lowers her defence to 4 and immobilizes her. And then just attacking with normal troops was quite enough. I guess a spider lord with the web spit and a black bow or something similar would be really nice against a VQ..
