Vampires are a medium speed race with a rare trait; the ability to convert on hitting. Additionally, they have immortal OP and reduced casualties on defence, meaning it is in some ways more forgiving to be hit: you will often be able to get back up. The basic and most effective idea of attacking with Vampires is to hit in the proper range as often as possible using elite OP in order to generate free elite DP units for your dominion. Because they are a medium speed race, it is recommended to have started building Guard Towers by early to mid-round.

General Info

Racial Spell

Feast of Blood: Military units lose all casualty reductions (including immortality), Bloodreavers convert additional Kindred equal to 10% of units sent.

This is a net bonus in terms of total stats: you lose 8.5 % of your sent Bloodreavers, but gain 10 % of them in Kindred. Very barebones calculation: if you send 10000 Bloodreavers, you lose 850 (=3400 OP), but gain 1000 Kindred (=5000 DP), on top of regular converts. However, at 1000 platinum, Bloodreavers are incredibly expensive for just 4 OP, meaning you will not be hitting in the near future. Additionally, if you get hit while out, it will hurt even more because you also lose full from invasion. Use with caution.
