Vampire Coast is great fun, but can we talk about the lack of Island map diversity?
So, Ive been having a blast with Count Noctilus and really enjoying the new roster. It's just a really fun faction to play.
What spoils the fun a little, is the lack of any meaningful difference in the Island maps. I can't remember every getting anything but the same bendy map with it only changing as far as it being covered in trees, snow or sand depending on where it is, but the shape of the map is the same, and its quite frankly one of my least favorite maps and really punishes the Vampire Coast playstyle from my experience.
With the advent of mods like GCCM I feel like C.A is not doing a fantastic job when it comes to map making where quite frankly the maps are just bland and boring compared to what modders are pushing, and I feel like something is wrong when the quality of mod content consistently exceeds that of the base game.
Again I want to say I love the faction, the lords and the mechanics, I just really don't want to play that same boring map over and over. I already find myself avoiding sea battles as a result, which feels fundamentally wrong as a pirate faction.
