1/ some Blood sites give Conjuration bonuses

3/ By controlling your dominion & staying on the offensive you could as well control a bunch of provinces outside your harmful influence, and in Dom I standard commanders were able to use dousing rods for blood hunts.

4/ Those designs are like 3+ years old, from the time a bunch of us started playing. Not only was knowledge of the game mechanics back then far less spread than it is today, but addtionally they were never meant to be the _most_ competitive choice, they were rather designs with no blatant mistakes that were flauvorish & varied as a plus.
The Liche Queen one for Ermor is curiously one of the most competitive ones: it nails the use of negative scales to get design points, multiplath for site searching & rituals to broaden magics, immortality to protect the investment & high dominion to increase auto-reanimation. In fact, I did play at the time a Lich Queen pretty similar to that one (slightly better scales in exchange for less magic & dominion) in a couple games (GGSix? & TBCim?) and did pretty well with it.

Someone should do the same for Dom II: flauvorish designs to ease the jump into the game. No need for them to be uber-competitive, just not having blatant mistakes (like a cold scale for Abysia) is good enough.
