In what game mode did it work (World Gen, Arena, Adventure, Fortress?).  I've started playing around with it myself... it doesn't seem to spread in world gen like you would expect it too, but I bet it should at least work in Arena and probably Fortress and Adventure mode as well (assuming you can get a vampire immigrant).

Other fun testing: I gave a SPECIALATTACK_INTERACTION to hydra megabeasts that allowed them to grant secrets through bites.  Their names gain the corresponding title ('water wounded' in the case of this, which are basically a copy-paste of spellcraft's water warriors). The XML export recognized the affected historical figures as having the interaction active, but not the secret knowledge.  So you can't completely spread secret knowledge this way, but you could presumably get a vampire/werebeast style curse spread maintained with something that originated as a secret.

Has anyone tried vampire-necromancers (a vampire curse that also gives raise dead abilities appropriate for building towers), or necromancer-vampires (necromancer secrets that also come with the need to suck blood)?  I wonder if they starve once they are in a tower since they have no living population to feed on.
