a little history, for those who are interested: The First Vampire War (the one with Vlad and Isabella) took part around 500 years before any of the playable empire lords were born and around 300 years before the colleges of magic were founded after the chaos invasion by Everchosen Asavar Kul. The reason Vlad failed, was Mannfreds betrayel, because he wanted to be the one to conquer the empire. What finally beat the Vampires till the end times, was the third war in which the empire used one of the Books of Nagash as well as an alliance of men, elves and dwarves.
I feel like adding one player on the vampire side would've helped make battles worth fighting, because you might've had a better chance at making them much costlier with the extra hands. Idk if Total War can allow two players to play the same faction, but that woud be the best option. Same macro, double the micro. I'd also let vampires do some fighting in the mountains to level up heroes and lords, then you can make them lose everything outside Slyvania upon turn 25. Idk, maybe some other changes could be made but really I think you need two sets of hands to micro that many troops. Would certainly help with fatigue. But I think you did great Makk. Your job wasn't necessarily to win, but to give them a good time and a good story to tell and that I think you did excellently.
Damn this stream was fun, stuck with stream from begining to end, skipped my sleep to enjoy this great stream, it was so fun to watch but it was just as draining to playas to watch, good job from te gang, Mak still can't micro the side of a barn!
It would be cool to see this campaign in a battle documentary by Wizards and Warriors even though its fan fiction. I imagine it would be very entertaining to see
