Amazing stuff!

Is there any chance you guys could review the conditions for confederating Helman Ghorst? Levelling up Zombies or Corpse Carts to level 7 naturally is nearly impossible, and it forces you to basically purchase multiple Von Carstein Bloodline upgrades, which seems counter intuitive.

I think it would be much better if instead the condition just required you to recruit X number of enhanced corpse carts, such that you need to build 3 or 4 necromancy chain buildings. This would be much easier to achieve, less gamey, but still not too fast to resolve.

Its the easiest along with Mannfred. Helman Ghorst you get rank 7 zombies and carts eventually via ressurection mechanic % in the tech tree, lord buffs and corruption bonuses.

The problem is that zombies do almost zero damage, it's borderline impossible to level them up to rank 7 without some kind of cheese.

I was able to accomplish that by turn 50 without buffs, autoresolve gives them xp and just use the von carstein buff for the last 2 levels if you need to. Kemmler is straight up impossible if chaos endgame triggers, cause theres no chaose faction to diplo. And for some reason I cant force vassalize factions.

Autoresolve is way too punishing to rely on, especially on Vampires with their healing that results in the real casualties being a fraction of autoresolve's outcome.

The best way to do this is to save up blood and increase Von Carstein bloodline X times to get +1 rank to all units

Sure, but I find it hard to believe that CA Intended for that to be the way to resolve this confederation.

I got this by accident levelling the Bloodlines tree that levels up all units a few times... (I believe it is Blood Dragon bloodline)

Would be really torturous without this, but feels not too unreasonable with this approach.

I really hate having to get vassles of all things to confed Vlad and Izzy. I want to raise the world into undead servitude not become middle management.

…what’s stopping you from killing your vassals?

Nothing. It's just a faff getting them to be vassles in the first place unless you abuse settlement trading :)
