| − | The loyalty of undead and night creatures depends on whether they have a [[soul]] or not. | + | The loyalty of undead and night creatures depends on whether they have a [[soul]] or not. Creature with souls, even undead, will retain the existing loyalty links they had when they got 'transformed', with possible alterations or a more nefarious agenda of their own. For instance, necromancers, night trolls, mummies, etc. break off from civilizations and form separate entities with their own set of loyalties. Soulless undead (zombies and thralls), on the other hand, are hostile to every living creature (night creatures such as [[vampires]] are considered {{token|NONLIVING}}, even if they do die), due to their {{token|OPPOSED_TO_LIFE|c}} tag, which overrides all other relationships. |
Vampires, despite their blood-sucking murder sprees, will still be loyal to their parent civ, including your fortress. In fortress mode, you can take advantage of their neutrality toward undead, ordering them to kill necromancers when facing a siege; a vampire can and will path toward a necromancer unhindered and usually beat them to death. You can also order vampires to kill zombies one by one as they won't react unless attacked. In adventure mode, when they are not exposed, they will behave as any member of a civ. Occasionally, they will be accompanied by cultists who will have formed a separate group gathered around their 'immortality worship': if you confront the vampire, they will turn against you. | Vampires, despite their blood-sucking murder sprees, will still be loyal to their parent civ, including your fortress.
