Scout Bloodhunting Nerf - New Numbers?
Scout hunting was apparently nerfed in 2.11, according to the patch notes, as non-blood mages are now worse at hunting for blood slaves.
How much worse? Saber, could you maybe run the numbers again?

Re: Scout Bloodhunting Nerf - New Numbers?
(bump)
Anyone checked this out yet?
By the way, add --scoredump to your Illwinter icon. Thats a SWEET html it creates. I think I might like it as real numbers more than the moving line thing

Re: Scout Bloodhunting Nerf - New Numbers?
Yes, I would liek to know it as well. In both of my current games I am playing blood-capable races (Abyssia and Jotuns) but using scouts for bloodhunting since it is more economical. I would like to know if it is time to change my hunting habbits.

Re: Scout Bloodhunting Nerf - New Numbers?
I'm guessing they're now half as effective..
so, yah, time to change over to real bloodhunters. Use those scouts for what they were intended - pack mules.

After 400 tests : you're right, it is 10% now.
Fortunately the *base* chance for blood mages is still 20% (+20% for each level in blood, I've not tested the SDR).
After 200 hunts with scouts I've got 19 hits and 82 slaves.
After 200 hunts with Blood 1 mages I've got 82 hits and 455 slaves...

If the base chance for a blood mage finding blood slaves is 20% per level of blood, does this mean a blood-5 mage, or a blood 3 mage with an SDR, which is supposed to be +2 blood for hunting, will always find blood slaves? How does population of province affect this? |
