Vampire Brides
This idea is a compromise between some of the existing servant mechanics and the idea I read about having servants go out with us. The idea is each character gets a special Bride Coffin. They can then place any NPC in this bride's coffin the same way you create servants, but this servant or "bride" is a full vampire with the same weaknesses to the sun, silver, garlic, exc.
he/ or she can't go out on missions, but having a vampire bride in your castle could give your servants a stat bonus based on their blood type and percentage and your ability to equip your bride with Vampire powers you have acquired in the game.
They would be servants that are 100% designed for Castle defense, which makes for a mini-side boss if your Castle is attacked when you are offline.

Count ValadrielI also wanted to point out this is 100% within the Dracula lore. I originally thought to pitch having 3 of them, but that might make balancing difficult, however, it would allow a solo player to defend their base as if they had the backing of a full clan. I feel like the devs could play with this concept in many ways, such as Bride with 100% worker blood reducing all crafting times by 25%.

Kiefer N.This would add a new layer to raiding castles. This would give the defender more control over how they protect their castle while giving unique mini-bosses for attackers to fight. They could be called “Betrothed” or something similar.

KassianI really think a random map, or enemy placement generator would be amazing. Once you've played through once all you have to look forward to is pvp raiding and rebuilding.

It would be great to see changes like maybe fighting the spider queen in a church instead of in a cave. I'd also love to see the ability to bring a servant with you in single player. -

Johnny5I like the bride idea. It is a slick way to incorporate current game mechanics while expanding on the lore. I also like the aspect that this could also help defend your base if offline.

FayleinI like this idea except I would want the bride to have a follow you option on private solo servers. Maybe they can put the bride follow you as an option on the server creation screen. I can see how it can be a problem for pvp but on pve or private play it would be a big help for the V Bloods that are meant to be taken down by more than one character.

Some other things to add:
- Full customization of the bride, the ability to change their looks, name, etc
- unique conversations/ interactions
- turn off and on the follow your vampire ability
- the ability to kill or demote your current bride in favor of obtaining a new one
This would really add to the RPG aspect of the game and vampire lore :)
