We have a bunch of almost-ready maps, but we are still developing the final graphical setup for the world - to make it as good as possible, loaded with the newest technology.

Hello Vampires lords! After a long work, I can finally show you the fighting system which we just finished. Fighting in Vampire Clans is based on a slow-motion tactic, which is almost like an active pause but your vamps could be hit if you are making your decision too long.
