Vampirism+Necromany?
« on: July 23, 2012, 10:51:46 am »
So, if I become a vampire, do I HAVE TO drink blood? If so, is this erased once I become a necromancer, since necromancers apparently don't eat or drink?

You can be both, but you might have to become a vampire first. To become a vampire you need to drink a vampire's blood. If it does not work, try again, it seems it does not always work on first try.

Yes, I meant that I'll first become a vampire, so that the zombies won't swarm me. I also asked do I have to drink other creature's blood to survive once I'm a vampire? And so I still have to feast on blood once I'm a vamp-necro?

If you're a vampire you need to feed on sleeping creatures. For when you're both, I don't know, I have played only necromancers so far.

Okay, thanks. I'd guess that the necromancer effect will override the vampirism, or at least I hope so. I'm planning to cleanse the world from humans, and then retiring to an empty throne to rule over the dead world. Once the other civs become available, I'll turn them into zombies as well. Then I'll hunt the remaining great beasts. An then, the reign of Noobazzah shall be forever! (evil laughter)

Sounds like a cunning plan *joins evil laughter*.

A lot of people seem to do the vamp-necro thing, so maybe someone can answer your question before you find out yourself.

Hopefully. Altough it would be fine if I still had to drink blood, a small village of helpless slaves would act as a blood bank. But that would limit my travels alot.

You still have to drink blood, but you can strangle animals and suck your blood.

I thought they didn't have to drink blood. Or is that in fortress mode?

Vamp/necros have to drink blood still, but they can drink animal blood.

A vampire/necro ahs to neither sleep, drink or eat anything.
But every adventurer you start with should be trained on deities or filthy peasants, good training ;).
