Dont vampires count as undead? But like undead necromancers with good melee skills?
The Undead had a Vampire unit in AoW2/SM, but if you compare the way vampires and wights/zombies have developed in culture I'd say there's a huge difference between them. And if they found a way to make elemental Dragons and elemental Giants different enough in function to give each of them their own DLC, then I'd say we can have vampires that are different from wights. There is after all a lot to choose from the various vampire myths and tropes.

Buy the DLC buy the game. Gift the game gift the DLC.

Only way to support is money !

Yeah true. No amount of begging will really matter here. It's just a simple calculation for them whether they spend 2026 making AOW4 DLC or starting work on another game. And that depends on how well Season 2 dlc is selling. Honestly i'm a little disappointed in Paradox advertising. They actually advertised this game very well in the months leading up to it's release. Which is the real reason it sold so much better than AOW3/Planetfall. But they don't really seem to spend much effort on trying to promote DLC.

They have said they have ideas for a 3rd season (it would probably be Chaos-focused and have vampires) but like @GGLikeNP said, it depends on sales and on the decisions of Paradox/Triumph.

For all we know they might be done with the AoW franchise for a while and make something entirely different.
I would ask that perhaps the dev also focus on improving the combat sounds, the battles should sound more realistic.
 
For sound wishes I want only one thing. Music player.

Music in AoW4 is very good, but my gripe is that pacing is a mess. World map plays -> diplomacy screen with different music -> back to world -> select a spell and music changes again -> diplomacy screen with different music again. And so on.

Oh man, that would be sweet!

Don't get me wrong, the music in the game is great, but after a while, you start to hear the same handful of tunes over and over again. There's a couple of new tracks in the Giant Kings DLC that are really good, but I've only heard them once or twice.

I'd love a little music player like Stellaris has, that you can skip through tracks while playing the game, that'd be awesome!

I literally play the tracks in an external player due to the horrible pacing. The songs are good but you never get to listen to any of them properly in the game, which is a shame. I absolutely detest the constant interruptions, it completely ruins the musical audio.

I would pay good money for an OST DLC. I'm an old school meloman and I still use Win Amp. I have both AOW 3 and PF OST there. The songs of AOW 2 came with the game, and I think they're amazing.

Same, I'll often lower the in-game music volume and play a playlist of fantasy music on Youtube in the background.
