Evlin may cut it, but I'm not sure if it resurrects the extra creatures you got by sacrificing.
EDIT: On the second thought, my bad. It can be done, even if that requires a lot of mana. Get 2 stacks of vamps (single type or 2 types), use one to grow the other and then evlin to replenish the losses. That would require 2 fights to be effective, but that proves that there is a way.
EDIT 2: The next thing I'm wondering is how will you start growing your stacks when you'll have only a few vamps, because sacrifice hurts a lot. In general, there is still a way - use griffins or lvl 1-2 creatures, sacrifice them, grow the vamps and then use resurrection. That however costs even more mana to do  |
Sacrifice doesn't work on vampires, or any undead. I like this change, because it was way too powerful combo in TL.
The trick with griffins, a bit more detailed:
- enter the first battle with 4 griffins. On the second turn, split them and use time back on the original stack. Now you have 6 griffins. If you can do it again in the same battle, you'll make another 2.
- The second battle you have 8 griffins and can make 4 per time back.
Once you have enough griffins, let's say 20 and leadership allows 30:
- enter battle with 20 griffins and a vampire. Use split and then time back, now you have 30 griffins. Use sacrifice on the extra griffins, they'll not count as loss. If you can set it up, you can split the griffins, cast sacrifice on them, and time back on the next turn.
