Try it. According to the manual, they count as "short humanoids" (not to be confused with giants).
So they would have been affected by say the Steel Armor item.
Anyway, just treat them like any other unlimited retaliation unit, nuke them from afar or cripple them with spells first. Sheeped ancient vampires aren't worth much even if they do have 4 counterattacks.
Besides, this opens up more units, since there were only 2 major units that had "unlimited counterattacks". The royal griffin (and griffin) and black knights with the shard.
That really made those guys prime choices to use for high level game play. Now you can make horsemen useful, or other units, etc.
More options, more variety, more fun!
