You think assigning slaves to hunters in the very rare cases where you would actually want hunters to cast blood spells against raiders would be more micro than the current system of a bajillion clicks using scouts to ferry?
I just didnt realize anyone was doing that. The nations I play with tend to use blood as a secondary. I guess with nations that rely primarily on blood such extensive hunting in every province would logical.

Labs where you blood hunt is fine if you're willing to have a huge in game disadvantage to avoid micro. I personally don't think mindless micro should be of such benefit in the game. It's not really an issue in SP though, where the lab in every hunting province idea is reasonable.
Exactly. In my games labs tend to popup on their own often enough. Such provinces often have no other feature going for them so turning them into blood slave factories makes sense. But small maps with many players would make gathering a bigger rush-item I guess.
