Re: Cost efficient blood hunting
I do that when I can. However in most past MP games, when I was attacked by a blood nation, they were raiding me so hard I had a hard time hitting they blood economy.

One last Q though, what if I want to use the Hinom priests as blood hunters (IIRC they are names "Kohen" with 1B). Are they going to eat the population like Rephaim and Baal?

Yes, Kohen eat population. |

Re: Cost efficient blood hunting
Well, this actually prevents Hinom from efficient blood hunt with Kohens and forces them to rely on indy scouts instead (or else burn out their blood provinces quite fast).
Another weakness in this supposedly too strong nation.

Re: Cost efficient blood hunting
I think most people consider the Mictlan Priest to be the most efficient Blood Hunter in the game. Now, if you want to consider the most efficient independent Blood Hunter, I _think_ it's the Garnet Priestess, should she receive a Blood pick.

Heh, Mictlan also has the most effective summoned blood hunter in the Tlehpuchi <sp>. 25 blood slaves to summon, a B2 (flying, stealthy, assassin) who can summon themselves and don't even need a sanguine rod. They can be used to get MA Mictlan into blood in a huge way.

Agreed--that beats the vampire. I've never done much with Mictlan, I didn't realize they had such a summons. |

Re: Cost efficient blood hunting
And THAT's how MA Mictlan stops being nice and turns back into LA Mictlan.

Re: Cost efficient blood hunting
No, it does so by summoning Rain Lords - who are normal summons, but have B3...  |

Does that imply that SDR doesn't benefit blood mages with more than 1 blood pick? |

Re: Cost efficient blood hunting
It gives a B1 mage a 40% greater chance to find slaves (90 as opposed to 50) and a B2 mage a 10% greater chance (100 vs 90) so you get some serious diminishing returns, but it still helps. Also, according to the formula given in the book (which is at least partially incorrect, as I noted) every time you do find slaves each level of blood adds an extra slave before the random element, so even on a high-level mage an SDR will be worthwhile after 6 successful hunts, at least if that part of the formula is accurate.
