Douse bonus without blood magic
 

This could probably go in modding, but this relates to normal games as well.

Anyway; Does douse bonus (from Douse Rod or #douse stat) help if commander doesn't have any blood magic? It is quite annoying if I need to make my bloodhounds blood magic users.

No, it does not. At least from the rod.

Easy to verify: Scouts with Rods hunt like scouts without rods, not like B1 mages.

That is too bad. Oh well, mage dogs are now reality.

Have you tried blood 1 + pathboost -1 + dousebonus?

I don't know if it will help - but a similar approach works in some other cases, so I think it's worth testing

Did a quick test (why I didn't do one in the first hand? Who knows) and no, that doesn't work, Redeyes.
