So how many blood mages will you have wasting their time hunting for these blood slaves!

About 10 blood 1 mages with sanguine dousng rods, at a lab, along with two tribal kings with full complements of slaves. For mictlan that's a total cost of 1090 gold. The upkeep will be less than 70 gold per turn IMCAC.

And how many are able to sacrifice the income/resources/supplies from the 10K population province.

A 10K pop province provides an income of around 40-50. With 100 troops patrolling you don't lose much of that income either.

Plus those imps in NO WAY do as much damage as the ghost riders. Do some tests and you'll see... not to mention check the stats of those little imps.

Sure the imps don't do as much damage. They also aren't a level 9 spell, and haven't had ten's of turns of research applied to get to them. They also stick around afterwards and can be grouped to continually take low defense provinces turn after turn.
