I wonder if empowering the Vampires in a future patch would actually make Necropolis more balanced or overpowered compared to other factions.
Clearly increasing damage AND increasing their Life Drain ability would make them overpowered (not to mention most likely the main target to focus on).
I wonder if damage was decreased by a point or two while Life Drain effect was doubled (=H3) would make them more satisfying... Either Attack or Damage anyway, Life Drain is totally dependant on the amount of damage inflicted.
For the record, I agree with Istari.
Well then they would be just like H3 vamps wich imo were a bit overpowerd (keep in mind H3 Necro was banned in virtually all online games wich was mostly due to the overpowered necromancy skill but still the vamps played a big part in that too).

Hmm the HOMM V Vampire is weaker then in H3 or H4, but it's balance now sort of . It serves in early game as offensive unit to support/defence in the late endgame. Its speed and initiative is temptating to use it as First Attack wave but in most of the times it's catastrophic decision. The whole Necro army now in ToE seems to rely not on swift victory, but defence/wait/evasion long battles. The Necromancer needs time and mana to curse, weaken, shatter enemy phiscaly and mentaly so they can become an easy prey for undead.
The Vampire role in these gameplan is to use it swiftness of teleport, and no retaliation to weaken, block or support so the bigger high tier can finish the work.
In time death will conquer all.
Vampire Lords IMO need someextra abilitiy so gave them LizardBite, it should be called Vampiric Bite and it's quite logical that Vampires have so great thirst for blood that when they see some of the blood is being freshly spiled it willingly joins the attack sucking life from helples victim.
And thats how my dream should be VampireLord

vampires arent what they used to be sadly 
the jewel of the necro army has been dulled... still vamps are quite useful in creeping (as has been said) and with necromancy you can increase their numbers quite nicely... take lucretia as a main and you wont have that big a problem with their atk and def stats 
keep them hidden in the back ranks to use as a survival unit for the final battle ... cast some curses on the opponent.. then start vampirising your army 
the effects of the lords stack with vampirism.. which could restore those vamps to their heroes 3 glory days 
well not quite..but still.. with decent power vampirism can steal more than 50% health easily.. plus 50 from the vamps.. suddenly they live a lot longer XD
still the vampires themselves are definately not what they used to be
EDIT: i know this is not related XD but why did the phoenixes in heroes 3 have +4 growth instead of the standard +2???
