>And I get better results by ignoring blood with Abysia. I'll still use it if the game goes on along time but otherwise not.

I find Abysia weak without blood magic. It's the only thing that keeps Abysia competitive, in my opinion.


>The blood boil point is good but bind devil is not a good spell.

I've had a lot of success with it, don't dismiss it so fast. Although much of the reason why it works is combined with the efficiency of the Demonbred mage. If I get up the gumption I'll write up a description of the technique I use.


>Mictlan
>>And is the worst race in the game.

Due to it's lack of good troops, not due to impotent blood magic.



>Pangaea
>Pandemonaics cost 320gps and they are your blood mage - makes searching for blood slaves a killer in an incredibly gold greedy race. Again I pass on blood when using Pangaea.

When I use Pangaea I blood hunt with scouts on the side and only make Pandemoniacs as needed for summoning.


>Jotunheim
>>Skratti are expensive so that your blood searching is very pricey. I still use blood with Jotun but thats because I like it so much thematically - I'm not sure its worth the trouble in most games.

Again I hunt with scouts and use Skratti as summoners.


>Marignon [Diabolical Faith]
>>you described it as weak didn't you?

Due to the turmoil scale not due to blood magic.


>Vanheim
>>Alex you are doing your utmost not to get the point it would seem - Vanheim has to pay for a blood pick on its Van Jarls and in general gets nothing for it. Blood is the biggest problem with the Van.

I'd love to see the Van lose the blood skill and be made cheaper. I agree that it's one skill too many for the character.


>I'm not suprised you are happy you got what you campaigned long and hard for. Your response to the dom2 demo was that blood was still overpowered!? For me its a case of goodbye to alot of cool features.

What features are you concerned about? The major change to the potency of the big blood summons was the spell paralyze (which affects more than just the blood summons). The summons are still there, just a bit different.
