Bloodstones can be hoarded by Abysia rather effectively, btw. You need but an earth warlock and you're set. There's even a feedback-loop before you start arguing definitions, since every bloodstone yields 10 gold per turn if alchemized and thus pays the upkeep of an apprentice ... Come to think of it, using the gems to make dwarven hammers is also a cumulative proposition since every hammer can be used to save 5 slaves or more per turn . Such foolery aside, 15 slaves and 2 earth gems to get 1 earth gem a turn? Dang cheap, if you have the mages (like Abysia does) and ask me.

Yeah but since we plan to play without forge of the ancients it is hard to get bloodstone forgers.
Abysia and Marignon DF are the only 2 nations who can get them.
But only every 8th Goetic master/Warlock has an earth pick.
Warlocks are capitol only, Goetic masters are difficult to get in masses with forced turmoil 1 for marignon DF.

I slightly nerfed them now too though.
