Then again I run 50/50 archer pathfinder Warbow specialist, with pathfinder heavy armor and greatsword in front veterans. Thus my words are from personal experience. Good thing it is not Iron Man) and I had not ran into any necrosavants in early games anywhere close to roads. I am on day 120 on the hardest difficulty, raided goblin city, orc warlord sea of tents, finished War of the Nobles event, (Tried Monolith once but got my ass kicked since I heavily rely on archers in leather armor. I could take two of them quite early (level 3-4), using nets and providing every single unit with mace weapons, but maybe I was lucky.

OP never said what level his team was, which is of course key to your hit chances. What was the garrison, you ask? 8 Necrosavants, that's all! Luckily, it said right on it it was a haven for hemovores. There was a fortress on my map called Coven of the Ancients (or something like it) from very early game. Originally posted by Caliell:I dont know how did you roll on them, but they usually appear only at fringes of the map.Not true at all. I would suggest giving the Perk Taunt to your tanks and have them attract the Necrosavants instead. This is good, comprehensive advice, but I am not so sure about dogs, as they will often do nothing but replenish the Necrosavants' health pool. They are perhaps the hardest enemy type to deal with vs any other single unit type, but are still very doable with a defencive strategy. Dogs can be good distractions since vampires dont gain Confident morale from killing them, but do gain health from them, which is no concern if you use the dogs when the vampires are at their maximum health.

Bring heater shields for non-two-handers. Group up and give heaviest armor to your men with the lowest melee defence. Originally posted by Puttiis:Vampires are suspectible to stun from maces, counter-attack from swords, cleavers' bleed, multi-tile attacks when allowing them to surround a heavy-armor unit, nets, goblin poison, stagger from mauls/2H hammers, are easier to hit with spears and have no armor.
