Vampires?

Whats the deal with vampires? Without ethereality they are completely useless. I fought with 50 vamps against 50 regular undead and there is no contest. I lost badly. I lost about 2 vamps to 1 skeleton.

I agree they are pretty rediculously bad now

Life drain doesn't help nearly as much when fighting undead.

I'm going to mod ethereality for vampires back. They weren't great at the best of times but now...

I'd rather put them 1 or 2 research tiers lower in the game.

Have vampires ever been really strong?

I have had no dealings as yet with them in Dom3, but in Dom 2 I had vampire lord takes over a province, random event. A vampire lord + 20 vamps + a horde of undead. Scared the hell out of me, but when I attacked with a army of national troops, playing Machaka at the time, my Black sorcerors, priests and spider mounts wiped them out real easy...

A long way from my AD&D roleplaying days, when we use to abandon the adventure and run away at even the hint of a vampire. 1 level life drain...shudder...
