Blood Magic as Combat Magic?

[AdmiralZhao]

One nice thing about Looming Hell is that it works well with Disease Demons. If the enemy does not put guards on their commanders, then Disease Demons can take care of them. If the enemy puts guards on their commanders, then Looming Hell gets them. This makes it very difficult to protect any non-thug commanders.

Also, many blood nations can sacrifice for dominion, which gives them a lot of control over who is affected by Looming Hell. You can sacrifice to push your dominion into enemy lands, while holding back along your peaceful borders.
