that blood armor is nice for 40 slaves, there's nothing like a extra +5 mr and 1 extra bloodmagic to protect your bloodhunters from magic and hunt more efficiently at the same time.

I'm quite fond of Spell Foci and Rune Smashers on mages who have to cast resistable spells.

I am overly fond of "free" attacks and things, so tend to forge way too many Spirit Helmets, Lantern Shields... and of course, Lifelong Protection and Soul Contract, but those are well-known.

Oh, and in this Ulm (World) game, I gave Rods of the Phoenix to about every single commander that's not hidden in a fortress (having Forge of the Ancients and making them with Master Smiths wielding Dwarven Hammers, plus tons of Fever Fetishes, really makes that more affordable)

Using an Armor of Souls on bloodhunters is an enormous waste of blood slaves. It takes something like 20 or more turns for the armor to pay for itself.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned skull talisman yet... Mmmm... Probably my absolute favorite early item.

not if it pays for itself by avoiding nightmares.

i also equip my bloodhunters with that airshield shield, and i play abysia.

so no seeking arrow, no nightmare to kill my bloodhunters O_o which leaves only wind ride to kill them(i have province defence always in my bloodhunting provinces where i have no army.)

i never bloodhunt in provinces that gives me decent money, so they need every Last bloodskill they got to get bloodslaves.

Actually, you don't. You only need a few hunters in any province with about 5K to 10K people. Like I've already said, it takes about 25 turns for that armor to pay for itself which makes it a supreme waste of bood slaves since you could have used them to build offensive forces of some kind. Your blood hunters are ultimately expendable, so you really don't need to protect them. If you find that they get targeted a lot, then put some scouts in their provinces.
