It is not worth it to seize a new town like Pfeildorf if it means you lose Castle Drakenhof to an invasion by Dwarfs or Greenskins. The first main вЂњquestlineвЂќ of the VCs is to seize more and more territory, but survival and management of your current domains should take precedence most of the time.

The cost of new cities, new armies, and public order penalties must be accounted for before new territory is claimed. In the early game, it is unwise to expand too quickly even though cities are the single biggest source of income for VCs, their armies in the early game are weak, and not well-able to defend newly-seized territory.

VC Uninhabitable Climates are those uncivilized areas of the map like the Wood Elf kingdoms to the west, and anywhere with too much Chaos Corruption.

This is another good reason to leave the Dwarfs alone until you can afford it.

VC Unpleasant Climates include other nearby race-nations such as the Dwarfs and Greenskins (mostly east and south).

VC Suitable Climates are anything human-based, including the Empire and its Provinces, the Border Princes, and the Bretonnian Kingdoms (mostly west).

Vampiric Corruption is a useful tool on the campaign map, as it increases public order and causes attrition among enemies, but it takes many turns to establish, by default. Taking territory a bit at a time, and solidifying it behind you, is arguably the best strategy you can use.

Vampires are ageless and immortal, and they can afford to play the long game. Thankfully, both race-nations have other things to deal with than Western and Eastern Sylvania, your starting position. The Vampire Counts (VCs) begin in a bad position they are stuck between two of the largest race-nations on the Old World map: the Empire (humans) and the Dwarfs (dwarfs).
