Re: Blood sacrifice - optimisation?
 

Maybe that's because there's no esay way top deposit all blood slaves captured in a turn without taking all slaves from everyone. Including the sacrificers...

Actually... I thought that Boron had said there was a hotkey for that very command? Like Shift+Z or something??

Re: Blood sacrifice - optimisation?
 

That would have to be done for every hunter. If something simple, but boring has to be repeated 10+ times a turn, it's micromanagement. Only Mictlan has real problems with blood slave micromanagement, IMO.

Re: Blood sacrifice - optimisation?
 

Oh yeah, guess so.

Re: Blood sacrifice - optimisation?
 

Group all your bloodhunters together and press shift+z. Now you only have to click on one of your bloodhunters in each province and click shift+z.

Re: Blood sacrifice - optimisation?
 

Yeah exactly http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.
Not a big micromanagement problem unless you have more then 10 blood hunting provinces but that normally only applies to Faerunlike games http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.
Especially if you play with Zen's spell mod Mictlan is really attractive since with Zen's spell mod there is no wish. So only Mictlan and to a lesser extent Marignon DF + Abysia BoH can get large amounts of blood easily http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Blood sacrifice - optimisation?
 

Problem is that you also need a lab for that ... In my games I've never invested in labs in blood hunting grounds just for slaves pooling and had to manage manual transfers through scouts. But it was with Aby mainly, for Mictlan it's a real pain to *also* manage sacrificer fueling http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: Blood sacrifice - optimisation?
 

Another problem, is that most of my turn with mictlan end with 4 or less blood slave on the lab, so the sacrifier cannot replenish. I first have to "shift Z" all my bood hunters, then found every former sacrifier on the map, then put them enough slave to sacrifice, and the click the sacrifice commad (AFAIK there is no shortcut http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif ). And I don't think I'm the only one who use all his slave in most of his turns, so there still is a lot of micromanagement (most of it is to found the commanders you want).

Re: Blood sacrifice - optimisation?
 

Yeah, it would be really nice if things would go like this:
1) all blood slaves captured by folks hunting in a lab with a province are deposited into that lab
2) sacrificing happens, and folks who sacrificed in a province with a lab then replenish their pools

It would really cut down on what Skolem's complaining about...
