THanks for the offer Cheezeninja, but I think Liga's info is all I really needed. It's clear to me now that while I was a bit unlucky with my lvl 1 Blood hunter, using a lvl2 hunter will make a big difference.

Actually lvl 1 bloodmage with rod is the same as lvl 2 bloodmages, and almsot the same as lvl2 bloodmage with rod, as it is clear from this formula.

So as long as you have lv1 bloodmages armed with rods, you are fine.

It wasn't +2 for using Sanguine Rod?

Wait a minute....so say you roll 1d100 and it comes up 40 and 1d5000 comes up 2500 and 1d400 comes up 60:

if Unrest = 70 then 60 (1d400) is less than unrest (70) so you get slaves;

if unrest = 50 then 60 (1d400) is greater than unrest (50) so you get no slaves;

So you get slaves for unrest being higher?

So then if Unrest is 401 or higher that part of the equation is always true, right?

I need to crank up taxes in bloodhunting provinces!

No ...

To find slaves you need to have all of these conditions true (AND logical operator)


X (0-5000) less than POP
Y (0-400) less than Unrest
Z (percentage value, 10 + 40*Blood Skill).

So a B3 mage needs only Y and X check.
A province with 5000+ POP only Y and Z.
Unrest 0 only X and Z.

The best thing is to combine all things ...

Fata Morgana spell aids a lot since it reduces Unrest.
Some sites reduce unrest too ...
Growth raises pop even slowly ... and blood hunt kills pop [you take away young and fertile girls ... so you inhibit pop reproduction]

Nice job with your guide Liga.

If you like, you may add few other formulas to it which are currently missing - such as chance of geting battle afliction, formula for turmoil in province, weather formula. These can be obtained by searching this forum.

if you can give me the link to the thread with tah formula it could be great ... I have rewroten the guide in a more usefull way

I have copy the Kristoffer post ... but 0-400 less than Unrest means that with unrest = 0 is impossible to find BloodSlavs ... isn't true ... so it must be 0-400 greater than unrest ... I think ...

Actually that isn't correct. You do have 3 parts, lets call them X,Y, and Z as you have above. Let's assume X and Z are true and unrest is 0. Then the entire thing will ALWAYS FAIL since 1d400 will never be LESS THAN ZERO. Only 1 in 400 would 1d400 be EQUAL TO ZERO. See what I mean?
