Mechanics:
Being a Vampire:
- To be a Vampire you must choose the ‘Vampire Nobility’ option during character creation as
your final choice. The Vampire base mesh will be visible only once you have loaded into the
game
Magic & Prayers:
- To have access to magic you must choose the Necromancer, Vampire Nobility or Bright
Wizard option during character creation, otherwise you will not have access for the duration
of your campaign.
- For access to prayers you must choose the Warrior Priest Acolyte or you will not have access
to prayers for the duration of your campaign.
To use abilities/battle magic: (No campaign magic yet)
- During battle pressing Q puts you into aiming mode, a reticule will appear and you will be
able to target your spells.
- Using the mouse wheel will switch between your spells (if you have learned multiple)
- New UI elements will appear on the bottom left of your screen, with an image representing
your selected spell and a cooldown timer
- Spells are reliant on the users Winds of Magic (mana), this is fairly self-explanatory. It is
regained over time in battle and on the campaign map.
Necromancy:
- To summon/recruit units through Necromancy you must choose the Vampiric Nobility or
Necromancer options during character creation. This will allow you to recruit undead units
from the new graveyard location within settlements as well as post-battle.
