Special abilities:

• Life drain

Vampires and Vampire Lords are level 4 creatures of Necropolis town. They are recruited from the Estate.

"The attacks of vampires and vampire lords cannot be retaliated against. Vampire Lords are able to resurrect members of their own troops by replenishing health equal to the amount of damage they inflict on others." ^{RoE manual}

Undead, Elementals and Golems have no life to be drained.

General Tactics and Info

The Vampire Lords' good speed and special abilities make them cornerstones of a Necropolis army. It is recommended to upgrade Vampires as soon as possible so as to make use of their life drain special ability. In large numbers, Vampire Lords can be difficult to deal with, unless the opposing army consists largely of undead or elementals. A very effective tactic is to cast the spell Counterstrike on Vampire Lords, allowing them to retaliate against every attack, constantly resurrecting themselves in the process.

Ability

Life drain special ability

Vampire Lords' life drain special ability occurs after the stack has attacked and before the target stack has a chance to retaliate. It raises killed Vampire Lords from the dead for the same amount of health points as the stack inflicted damage, and the top unit is healed with the remainder. The ability functions in a similar way to Animate Dead spell (or Resurrection). However, no more than the amount of total health points of the target stack can be drained. As the ability name suggests, target attacked creature stack must be considered to be alive. This means that the ability does not work on non-living creatures. Also, it's recommended to "feed" on weaker stacks, when numbers are lower.

Creatures immune to life drain:

Elementals:

Undead:

Gargoyles:

Stone and Obsidian Gargoyles

Golems

Mechanicals

Heroes with a specialty

Vokial the Death Knight has vampires as a specialty, which increases the Attack and Defense skills of any Vampires or Vampire Lords for each level attained after 4th level and gives them a speed bonus of 1.

-== General Tactics and Info ==
-Zombies are bad. Tragically bad, only due to their low speed. They're so bad, the AI computers usually won't buy them up or upgrade their graveyard (and you possibly shouldn't either) in the early game, they can usually go toe-to-to with another second-level melee creature, but that's about the best you can hope for from these extremely weak level 2 creatures. Even when defending a castle, there usually are better deals than them. Save your gold. Necropolis Town is not the cheapest, and you'll want to be able to buy up those [[Dread Knights]] and [[Ghost Dragons]] when they become available.
