Vampire Counts - Vlad & Isabella Both Available as Legendary Lords [7.0]

Description
Hello there! This is a relatively simple mod that changes Vlad & Isabella back to a Legendary Lord pair rather than the Legendary Lord + Legendary Hero combo added in WH3.

According to one of Creative Assembly's Immortal Empires Blog posts, there was apparently a lot of internal debate about this change for WH3. This mod attempts to put that choice in the Player's hands instead!

Bonuses of this change:
  • 1 of the 2 Vampire Heroes you normally start with (Melissa Rahtep and Emmanuelle Posner) will no longer be murdered to make room for either Vlad or Isabella!
  • This affects when you fight them as AI enemy Lords as well, meaning you can now fight Isabella once again to get her "Regeneration" Legendary Lord defeat trait! (+10% Army Replenishment)
  • All text has been updated to account for this change (see screenshots) The Battle Healing cap inherent Traits now apply when reinforcing each other's armies instead of being in the same army.

COMPATIBILITY:
This mod should be relatively compatible with most mods, however, anything that affects the Vlad/Isabella script "wh_dlc07_schwartzhafen_undying_love.lua" and the main "wh_quests.lua" scripts will be incompatible, so be forewarned!

You will need to start a new campaign to ensure that Vlad & Isabella come into play as scripted.

KNOWN ISSUES:
If your Faction Leader is Vlad, Isabella's Quest Battles could not be started, and vice versa.
To get around this issue, both Lords are instantly awarded their Quest Items on either campaign started. There may not be a simple resolution for this until CA exposes more of the hidden logic behind the ability for certain Lords to start quest battles.

If you find any other bugs or issues, just let me know!

Many thanks y'all, and have fun!

Think this would be a great mod, if it wasn't for CA and their quest battle shenanigans, for that reason I'll prob refrain from using this since I don't want Vlad to already be overpowered turn 1

Excellent mod - CA had a good idea (in theory) with the "make the one you don't choose a hero" thing, but the combination of units the two characters like to buff make it hard to have all of those things in a single army without it being kind of weak - it works much better if all of Isabellas wolves and bats and so on are in a reinforcing second army, like how the faction played in the previous two games.

Mod still works just fine in 7.0, it seems.

Any update on this please?

They should have made her a legendary hero from the start. Makes no sense for her to be a lord. There is a long list of characters in this game right behind her.

Anyone know if this is compatible with the Old World mod? I assume no, but wanna make sure.

I thought about it ages ago but I recall it being more trouble than it's worth, or rather, I didn't have the time or inclination to do it (start_pos shenanigans and more scripting)

If someone finds a way to do it I'd be happy to add it though!

Is it possible to make non-player Vlad/Isabella faction use Isabella as faction leader or choose faction leader randomly every new campaign game?

If you aren't playing Vlad/Isabella then the faction leader will be Vlad every time; he'll hire Isabella as another Legendary Lord some time after Turn 1
