Updated Vampirism Zero VZP version to 3.4
- Fixes in Lightning Tower
- Knight's Thorns aura is now in use for all units in range of 300
- All spell's descriptions has been made and new hotkeys applied (Q, W, E, R for all abilities from left to right for both Slayers and Vampires)
- Changed upgrade hotkey for Arrow tower, as before A was overriding attack. A is still in use to build it
As in every Vampirism map you control either a builder and protect yourself by building a base or a Vampire with your goal to kill anything that is alive. This is an ultimate Vampirism turning simple building and item buying into a constant constant battlefiend providing lot more than just buying items and watching things happening around.
What's different here to other Vampirism Zero maps:
-Rebalanced terrain, single attack spots are provided only at solo spots, two people spots or at weak three people spots.
-Only one lumber base with fair prices which provides balance by not having far too much wood.
-All tomes were moved to ultimate shop which disallows humans just to pump one hero in the beginning of the game (in other versions this is the easiest way of winning for humans, as with massive amount of wood hero is lot stronger than strongest defence).
-Added lots of items with various abilities to provide countless tactics for both humans and vampires.
-Opened gold arena during day and night for both humans and vampires.
-Provide soloing players with solo bonus of +40% damage.
-Gold Income Upgrade availible for Vampires.
-More than one hero class
-Vampires are provided with ultimate spells as soon as they reach 41 lvl.
-Vampires are provided with Vampire Reincarnation with 300 seconds cooldown.
-Voting system (-votefeed and -votekick)
-Proper trading system (-gg -gl)
-New, very useful party playing with -as command autosending all resources to target player
-Vampire minion has been replaced with Vanquished Builder
-Vanquished Builder is being reshuffled between players once his owner leaves the game
Differences between other Vampirism maps:
-Lumber bases (no lumberjacks) which are clearly indicating for how many players base is made for (many other vampirisms can be misused by players when they build in far too many people in one place).
-Humans main resource is lumber but to tech up they need gold. Gold can be only gained by destroying gold supplier. This requires having heroes, and those if killed are providing killing vampire with +1 wood, which for vampires is necessary to buy better items, this is one of the main aspects of the Vampirism Zero, as Vampire here isn't completely connected to feed, because as much as Humans need gold, Vampires needs gold and wood.
-Killed humans doesn't become a Vampire minion, in here he becomes a Vanquished Builder who is a neutral unit and can help both humans and Vampires by using his special abilities.
-Allowed resource trading - Trade is a key to victory!
-Having a hero is a must, as having a gold from gold deposit is a must.
-Constant gold and experience growth for Vampire, thanks to this game will never stuck, unless Vampire made too many mistakes.
Credits to all used resources in F9.
Have fun playing it.

A bit about gaming and heroes availible:
Basics:
Vampires should always share responsibilities, it is a huge and a common mistake, to equip both Vampires with the same items, making them an universal one. Those doesn't exist. This is vital, to make one Vampire a damage dealer when another one is tanking for him. Through the game Vampires will must hunt human heroes not only for wood, but must also be aware of a fact, that a neglect to hunt them, is equal to feeding humans. Yes, this is actually feeding them, as:
-stronger slayers gather gold faster
-faster gold means teching up
-teching up is no good if Vampires are thinking of victory
There is a number of core items for both Vampires, like Boots of Speed and Talisman of Damage. This second is provided with Magic Shield ability which blocks most of negative spells. Slayers gain levels in slayer arena periodically, every 30 seconds. This can be easily blocked by a human builder literally buying their slayers a possibility to gain few levels in early game. Block in late game is actually useless, as walls undefended won't stop Vampire for long, in the other hand, investing in a defence in slayer arena is a waste of time, too many walls are to be used overthere, and there is no lumber base spot overthere. This base will always fall sooner or later. Builder standing in arena with either Frost or Garlic Orb is a good harassment for Vampires in early game, but Vampires have a Lost Soul, which are invisible scout units, but still capable casting offensive spells like Disarm, which makes Builder to lose his ranged attack for a few seconds. This will provide Vampires with a chance to destroy few walls, and wait for slayers. This is vital to visit slayer arena like one hour before a night, this means there will be no slayers overthere which could try to stop Vampires destroying wall defence.

Heroes:
For now there is a number of heroes availble for humans. I shall write a few things about them in here.
Mistress;
Agility based hero. She is actually a link between all classes using her banish skill. I can't even imagine fighting the game without her. Learns Evasion, Banish and Critical Strike. Using her banish skill she can enable humans to deal extra damage to Vampire or to give him a possibility to use current banishment to heal himself with a lot larger power. Any time Mistress banishes a Vampire, everyone else should use his own spells on the Vampire. She can also combinate a speedtowers Fiery Powder upgrade changing damage type from chaos into magic, which will enable magic attacks to deal double damage.
Guardian;
Strength based hero. Casts slow, Lightning Shield and Fist of Heavens. Lightning Shield when casted on a hero unit next to banished Vampire will deal a massive amount of damage to him. His slow spell is quite good to slow Vampire down, but useless during a siege because it doesn't slow down the attack speed. Fist of Heavens, his ultimate skill deals a huge amount of damage - equal to 20% of Vampire hitpoints which can also be increased if casted on banished Vampire.
Knight;
Strength based hero. Casts Entangling Roots, uses Thorns Aura and Bash. Most important skill obviously is Entangling Roots, once casted on banished Vampire will deal a proper damage and also immobilizes Vampire for a short period of time which means, if casted on Vampire in gold arena it will make him to suffer extra damage from arena itself.
Inquisitor;
Intelligence based hero. Casts Thunder Clap, Mana Shield and Silence. You believe it or not, it's harder to kill him than it looks like. Once leveled enough, to like 20 level using his mana shield ability it's a nightmare to kill him. Especially if loaded with some mana regeneration items. His Thunder Clap spell is quite good to slow Vampires down which also deals some damage and can be combinated with banish and also his Silence ability once casted in a right moment can make them do eventually die once were trying to heal in arena.
Raven;
Agility based hero. Casts Spirit Link, Shadow Strike and uses Power Strike. Spirit Link is a quite rescue skill to be used to either save somebody's life or to spread damage in the very early stages of the combat. Shadow Strike deals initial damage which can be combinated with banish will deal some extra damage and slow Vampire down. Power Strike provides her with a 1% chance to instantly kill the Vampire. This should be constantly used whenever chance araises, blink to the Vampire, hit few times, run away. Who knows...
Zealot;
Agility based hero. Casts Net, Dodge and uses Holy Dust. Net works like an Entangling Roots, but doesn't deal damage and Vampire can still attack, instead holds Vampire a bit longer. Net can be dispeled with Vampire Soulstone. Dodge can be used to shift out of existance and remain untargettable for a short period of time. Ultimate skill, Holy Dust works like immolation dealing 2% damage to the Vampire which also can be increased if combinated with Banish.
Elementalist;
Intelligence based hero. Casts Freezing Breath, Mirage and Fire Devastation. Freezing Breath is able to deal good amount of damage and also slows Vampire using cold effect for as long as ability lasts. Can be combinated with Banish to deal more damage. Mirage can be used on self or friendy hero to dramatically increase it's armor. Fire Devastation can deal a massive amount of damage on a well pumped Elementalist. It will costs his entire mana to deal damage equal to half of mana amount, which can also be increased to deal deadly damage once combinated with Banish. Ability won't work if Elementalist isn't on 100% mana. This hero is a very easy target to kill.
Shadow Priestess;
Once a Mistress, but bitten as a Vampire became a hybrid which is a very powerful hero in this battle. Intelligence based hero, casts Blind Vision, Deadly Link and Vampiric Comparison. Blind Vision is both defensive and offensive spell, temporaily provides her with Vampire vision and increases her movement speed by 40%. Deadly Link deals 50x(ability level) damage with a very long range which can deal a proper amount of damage. Vampiric Comparison creates a link with Vampire and swaps her hitpoints with him. Amount of hitpoints won't reach over her maximum hitpoints, though this spell will be deadly if casted in any arena.
Viking;
Strength based hero, casts Seamans Will, uses Round Shield and Ivory Wave. Seamans Will is a very good offensive spell, deals some damage and slows Vampire's movement down, what's most important, this spell will also make all Vampires to hold position for as long, as Vampire player will notice that he is actually holding position. Round Shield is a passive ability that periodically can block a Soul Corruption. Ivory Wave is a very powerful spell which makes Viking literally unattackable as long as buff lasts, but has one weakness as well, once Viking is hit with Soul Corruption which isn't blocked by Round Shield, Ivory Wave effect is lost.
Nomad;
Strength based hero. Uses Cursed Shield, casts Sandstorm and morphs into a Scorpion. Cursed Shield once maxed provides Nomad with possibility to deal extra 2000 magic damage to attacking Vampire. This can be increased with loads of luck when Vampire has Unholy Shield, is standing next to Nomad with Banish. Single attack return can kill him instantly. Sandstorm is a quite good offensive spell just because it ignores magic shield and cannot be dispeled, but due to this adventage casting range is reduced to 400. His ultimate is very strong - morphs into a Scorpion with magic damage, ultimate speed and ultimate attack speed. Once mixed with banished Vampire is a guaranteed death, but will not attack Vampire with Magic Shield. This lasts only 10 seconds so must be used wise as well.
Pikeman;
Strength based hero. Uses Vortex Shield which can be loaded with many charges capable blocking enemy attacks. Number of charges cannot extend level of Pikeman. Ethereal Force can be mixed with Banish to deal extra damage and also slows down Vampires. Ethereal Force slow cannot be removed and will ignore Magic Shield. His ultimate will kill Vampire instantly if his soul is protected by Reincarnation. This is very important spell, makes Vampire to instantly lose his protection.
Vanquished Builder;
Though this unit isn't a hero his importance in game is very high. His abilities are bringing a lot of randomness into a battlefield. All his abilities can be used for both Vampires and Humans depending on which side Vanq is operating. As a unit he is being shuffled between players once his owner is leaving the game. As a factor of 50% chance per team and then shuffle between players provides each team with exactly the same chance to be granted control over him. A little bit more about him: 700 hitpoints makes him an easy target to be killed with one shot using Ultimate Soul Corruption. Low hitpoints regeneration and slow movement speed is making him even weaker. About skills;
Ethreal Comparison;
Brings Gold Deposit to it's 50% hitpoits. Way of use is simple, either help yourself on Human or make Humans suffer if controling it as a Vampire. This spell reveals Vanq for 5 seconds.
Unitary Glory;
It's basicly a praying skill that can be casted upon one of the monuments in the middle of the map. Due to balance issues Vampires must keep Vanq within flowers by their monument and Vanq can be killed himself once is a target of Sprite Explosion. In the other hand, humans usually have absolutely no chances defending Vanq, that is why Vanq is allowed to leave place of pray until that one is finished or can risk being shot by staying to the right side from the monument where Vampires are unable to hit him with a melee attack. He still can be damaged with Immolation generated by Unholy Shield.
Neverending Sadness;
This spell can work either as a curse or a healing spell, depending on the way of use as it brings all heroes on the map to the state of 50% of their total hitpoints. Humans should keep this spell to lower Vampire's hitpoints once he's attacking a base or entering one of arenas, and Vampires to drop slayers' hitpoits just before visiting them in one of arenas.
Eternal Oblivion;
In case of that one Vampires have much more room than humans simply because it's reseting all ability cooldowns including Vampire Reincarnation. Way of use is actually lot wider, using this Vampires can deal lot higher amount of damage with their Soul Corruption (350 * 4 or even 700 * 4). Meanwhile humans aren't completely powerless, imagine a moment when you are positive you are late for your level-up. Simply reset your blink, and get level you really want. This spell also resets ability cooldowns on items.
Unavailible Salvation;
This spell is basicly a pain in the arse, but at some point is pretty successful. Vampires should use this spell to make humans to lose levels when are staying in arena, best to use just before level-up time, and even better when combinated with an attack on the base. That will take some concentration and in the very end, probably some levels. Humans can use this spell to make Vampire to lose the target for a second which will make him to look dizzy for a second giving them a certain time to settle down a bit. Spell would work the best if Vampire is attacking a main wall using Blood Potion, that will cost him few very important second/s. Is also good for humans to use it when gold deposit is on the very low hitpoints to do the last hit with builder.
Wrath of Unknown;
This spell summons a Corrupted Merchant on a random location of the map. Merchant is selling quite few good items for a pretty decent price. Both sides can buy some extra resources and few good items which will be very good in-use on the battlefield.
Make note! All those spells apart from Unitary Glory are revealing Vanquished Builder for 20 seconds. Unitary Glory reveals for 60 seconds on Humans and as long as pray lasts on Vampires.
Mistress;
Agility based hero. She is actually a link between all classes using her banish skill. I can't even imagine fighting the game without her. Learns Evasion, Banish and Critical Strike. Using her banish skill she can enable humans to deal extra damage to Vampire or to give him a possibility to use current banishment to heal himself with a lot larger power. Any time Mistress banishes a Vampire, everyone else should use his own spells on the Vampire. She can also combinate a speedtowers Fiery Powder upgrade changing damage type from chaos into magic, which will enable magic attacks to deal double damage.
Guardian;
Strength based hero. Casts slow, Lightning Shield and Fist of Heavens. Lightning Shield when casted on a hero unit next to banished Vampire will deal a massive amount of damage to him. His slow spell is quite good to slow Vampire down, but useless during a siege because it doesn't slow down the attack speed. Fist of Heavens, his ultimate skill deals a huge amount of damage - equal to 20% of Vampire hitpoints which can also be increased if casted on banished Vampire.
Knight;
Strength based hero. Casts Entangling Roots, uses Thorns Aura and Bash. Most important skill obviously is Entangling Roots, once casted on banished Vampire will deal a proper damage and also immobilizes Vampire for a short period of time which means, if casted on Vampire in gold arena it will make him to suffer extra damage from arena itself.
Inquisitor;
Intelligence based hero. Casts Thunder Clap, Mana Shield and Silence. You believe it or not, it's harder to kill him than it looks like. Once leveled enough, to like 20 level using his mana shield ability it's a nightmare to kill him. Especially if loaded with some mana regeneration items. His Thunder Clap spell is quite good to slow Vampires down which also deals some damage and can be combinated with banish and also his Silence ability once casted in a right moment can make them do eventually die once were trying to heal in arena.
Raven;
Agility based hero. Casts Spirit Link, Shadow Strike and uses Power Strike. Spirit Link is a quite rescue skill to be used to either save somebody's life or to spread damage in the very early stages of the combat. Shadow Strike deals initial damage which can be combinated with banish will deal some extra damage and slow Vampire down. Power Strike provides her with a 1% chance to instantly kill the Vampire. This should be constantly used whenever chance araises, blink to the Vampire, hit few times, run away. Who knows...
Zealot;
Agility based hero. Casts Net, Dodge and uses Holy Dust. Net works like an Entangling Roots, but doesn't deal damage and Vampire can still attack, instead holds Vampire a bit longer. Net can be dispeled with Vampire Soulstone. Dodge can be used to shift out of existance and remain untargettable for a short period of time. Ultimate skill, Holy Dust works like immolation dealing 2% damage to the Vampire which also can be increased if combinated with Banish.
Elementalist;
Intelligence based hero. Casts Freezing Breath, Mirage and Fire Devastation. Freezing Breath is able to deal good amount of damage and also slows Vampire using cold effect for as long as ability lasts. Can be combinated with Banish to deal more damage. Mirage can be used on self or friendy hero to dramatically increase it's armor. Fire Devastation can deal a massive amount of damage on a well pumped Elementalist. It will costs his entire mana to deal damage equal to half of mana amount, which can also be increased to deal deadly damage once combinated with Banish. Ability won't work if Elementalist isn't on 100% mana. This hero is a very easy target to kill.
Shadow Priestess;
Once a Mistress, but bitten as a Vampire became a hybrid which is a very powerful hero in this battle. Intelligence based hero, casts Blind Vision, Deadly Link and Vampiric Comparison. Blind Vision is both defensive and offensive spell, temporaily provides her with Vampire vision and increases her movement speed by 40%. Deadly Link deals 50x(ability level) damage with a very long range which can deal a proper amount of damage. Vampiric Comparison creates a link with Vampire and swaps her hitpoints with him. Amount of hitpoints won't reach over her maximum hitpoints, though this spell will be deadly if casted in any arena.
Viking;
Strength based hero, casts Seamans Will, uses Round Shield and Ivory Wave. Seamans Will is a very good offensive spell, deals some damage and slows Vampire's movement down, what's most important, this spell will also make all Vampires to hold position for as long, as Vampire player will notice that he is actually holding position. Round Shield is a passive ability that periodically can block a Soul Corruption. Ivory Wave is a very powerful spell which makes Viking literally unattackable as long as buff lasts, but has one weakness as well, once Viking is hit with Soul Corruption which isn't blocked by Round Shield, Ivory Wave effect is lost.
Nomad;
Strength based hero. Uses Cursed Shield, casts Sandstorm and morphs into a Scorpion. Cursed Shield once maxed provides Nomad with possibility to deal extra 2000 magic damage to attacking Vampire. This can be increased with loads of luck when Vampire has Unholy Shield, is standing next to Nomad with Banish. Single attack return can kill him instantly. Sandstorm is a quite good offensive spell just because it ignores magic shield and cannot be dispeled, but due to this adventage casting range is reduced to 400. His ultimate is very strong - morphs into a Scorpion with magic damage, ultimate speed and ultimate attack speed. Once mixed with banished Vampire is a guaranteed death, but will not attack Vampire with Magic Shield. This lasts only 10 seconds so must be used wise as well.
Strength based hero. Uses Vortex Shield which can be loaded with many charges capable blocking enemy attacks. Number of charges cannot extend level of Pikeman. Ethereal Force can be mixed with Banish to deal extra damage and also slows down Vampires. Ethereal Force slow cannot be removed and will ignore Magic Shield. His ultimate will kill Vampire instantly if his soul is protected by Reincarnation. This is very important spell, makes Vampire to instantly lose his protection.
Vanquished Builder;
Though this unit isn't a hero his importance in game is very high. His abilities are bringing a lot of randomness into a battlefield. All his abilities can be used for both Vampires and Humans depending on which side Vanq is operating. As a unit he is being shuffled between players once his owner is leaving the game. As a factor of 50% chance per team and then shuffle between players provides each team with exactly the same chance to be granted control over him. A little bit more about him: 700 hitpoints makes him an easy target to be killed with one shot using Ultimate Soul Corruption. Low hitpoints regeneration and slow movement speed is making him even weaker. About skills;
Ethreal Comparison;
Brings Gold Deposit to it's 50% hitpoits. Way of use is simple, either help yourself on Human or make Humans suffer if controling it as a Vampire. This spell reveals Vanq for 5 seconds.
Unitary Glory;
It's basicly a praying skill that can be casted upon one of the monuments in the middle of the map. Due to balance issues Vampires must keep Vanq within flowers by their monument and Vanq can be killed himself once is a target of Sprite Explosion. In the other hand, humans usually have absolutely no chances defending Vanq, that is why Vanq is allowed to leave place of pray until that one is finished or can risk being shot by staying to the right side from the monument where Vampires are unable to hit him with a melee attack.
