Default Patrolling

I'm just curious what creatures people think are best at patrolling during blood hunting? Do you use massed cheap units like militia? Or undead?

I'm playing Mictlan for the first time in a big multiplayer game, and I want to start up my blood economy real soon, big time. I wanted to know what kind of troops people use to patrol. I was thinking of summoning foul spawn. Or some undead.

Standard practice is just dropping the taxes to 0...patrollers cost upkeep or waste gems and kill the population off a lot faster.

If you really want to patrol I'm pretty sure mindless units are at 10% effectiveness or so, like with siege defense.

From what I have seen it is much more efficient to blood hunt with people who patrol.

For Mictlan, the slaves are the standard. Use one tribal king to collect slaves and another to patrol.

I wouldn't waste summons on it.
