Vampires - you should be afraid of the night

[OmikronWarrior]

Will Solar Brilliance Work as a counter for a Vampire squad? I think it counters Darkness and if the battle lasts long enough will blind (not sure how quickly immortality will healthis) and kill a lot of Vampires provided the battle lasts long enough.

generally immortals seem to heal around one afflicton per turn...

I just took over Pangaea with lots of vampires in MP. I thought that a vampire lord scripted with attack one turn, 4 x hand of death, with a few vampire bodyguards (to reduce chances of him being hit) would be a good defense against raiding thugs and SCs.

So, Lanka is raiding me with Dakainis and I set this up in a few provinces. First turn vampire lord and his bodyguards surround dakini and then instead of killing her with the hand of death, vampire lord casts soul vortex and disintegrates. He's in range of a touch spell.

I would imagine this to be a common tactic. Anybody else had his vampire lords refuse obedience?
