Lamia Queens are only 15n. This mod assumes CBM for balance purposes.
And you're going to build up tarts anyway if you're summoning tarts, so the cost of tarts is not the relevant factor here - you'll just get blood mages automatically as a consequence of building up your tart forces. Indeed, if you focus your GoR uses on tarts with decent random paths (Monstra, titans), I think you'll get more blood mages from tarts than Asynja. Certainly you'll get better blood mages.
Why is blood magic such a big deal anyway? Its the easiest magic path to get into... If you want blood mages, you can use scouts to hunt up 50+ slaves well before you can cast an Asynja and empower your own blood mages.

As SC, though cyclops have a statistic even better that the pretender version, they are not shining like Asynja. But as a E mage, no doubt they have overshadowed troll kings. So why not gurantee it as SC rather than mage? Like change its path to E2F1?(EF)1 or even(EFAD)1?

Who cares if it overshadows teh troll king. It should. It comes what, 3 research levels later? No one complains that Liches are better death mages than wraithlords of moundkings...

Great Krakens are great, but B2 random at first seems useless since no one can cast blood magic beneath the wave and great kraken are not amphibian.

Ok, i'll agree B2 as a random on a Kraken is kind of weird.
