No virgins under the sea?

Of course you can't. Think about it: blood hunting is the search and capture of virginal human females. Just how many human females, virginal or otherwise, do you really expect to find underwater (and I mean, underwater, not skinny-dipping at the beach)? Clue: none. Same reason you cannot sacrifice the poor, hapless girls at sea. They'd drown long before you reached the battlefield. Blood slaves aren't troops (they're *objects* -- I'll refrain from my usual tirade about the inequities of all that entails), and as such they cannot be the target of global spells or magical effects that permit water entry.

This one is so obvious I cannot help but wonder at why it comes as a surprise to some people ...

We are speaking about a gameworld where you can play Mages, Titans, Lichs et al, who rule over kingdoms of lizardmen, squidheaded amphibians or undead Romans. And, more importantly, we are talking about a *game*.

So no reason to come down all real life logical on me

Oh, and BTW, why are there no Atlantean virgin girls?

Actually, it wasn't you that was the target of my post, it was the thread creator. Quoting you was more relevent to the point(s) I was attempting to convey.

However, since you bring it up, Dom 2's creators have gone out of their way (kudos to IW) to create a game where the pieces, setting, and rules are logical and consistent. Just because something is a game, or fantasy (or both) does not automaticaly imply that you cannot have logic, reason, or consistency. And Dom 2 proves it (or at least tries its very best to).

So the Last refuge of folks who refuse to exercise their aging brain cells, that of saying "it's a game", or "it's fantasy" as an excuse to overlook what they might find as inconvenient issues -- such as virgin girls needing air to breathe -- simply doesn't ... hold water.

That said, remember that gaming is all about having pun, er, fun.

Would seem acceptable in my opinion for blood hunting to work underwater for mermaids which were virgins.
Why only would only human virgins qualify??

Probably for the same reason you never hear of sacrificing centaur virgins ...

Or dwarven virgins, et cetera. Not only are demon-worshipers evil and sadistic, they're racist, too.

I've sucefully bloodhunted in a water province. Whether it makes sense or not it can be done.

Perhaps only water nations can successfully bloodhunt underwater - it would kinda make sense, wouldn't it?

As a water nation with underwater population I kinda assumed there would be underwater virgins but hey no big deal. I assume dwarven wackos sacrifice dwarf virgins also...but hey whadda I know.
