Jurri,

In short you are wrong. As I explained blood hunting converts gold into gems. Now it costs more gold to buy a blood slave.

The only way to blood hunt efficiently in a rich world is the Mictlan way, ie: 100% taxes with heavy patrolling. However most nations are not setup, ie: do not have access to cheap patrollers, to patrol efficiently. Blood hunting with 0% taxes is much less effecient on a rich setting. The end result is that I would not have played a blood nation had I known that we were going to play a rich map.

On and one more note wrt. to Boron's note that it affects all nations equally it doesn't. The nations I noted above have a number of troops with a high gold/resource ratio. This allows them to take advanatge of the rich settings right away. There may be other nations that can do it as well I have not gone through them all.
