perhaps we should forbid bloodhunting too or it may only be used for forging purposes .

otherwise the races with 2 random pick mages like atlantis , ryhleh , tien chi will bloodhunt and have serious advantages i think .
averagely every fourth such mage has a bloodpick .
they should reach blood 4 even with vh research quite quick and can at least summon serpent fiends then or probably even devils / storm demons etc.
they are quite potential at our special gamesettings ihmo

nothing wrong with blood hunting. As for Atlantis, Ri'leh, and Tien chi, when was the Last time you heard any complain that any of them were overpowered?

ps. the answer to my question is before the paralize bug was fixed.

Keep in mind that setting magic sites to 0 doesn't mean that there isn't any random magic sites at all. You won't find any in plains, but there's still a chance in forests, mountains, wasteland, etc.

Having played several games much like this (sites 0 or sites 5), the sites you _do_ find become much more valuable, especially when you stumble across one of the rare / high value ones.

Awesome house rules! Even Cohen has not come
up with such great ones.

So, you have picked Caelum, made well-equiped
summoned SCs nigh impossible, and forbidden the
use of Jotun and Vanheim, who are the best at
fighting Caelum.

I suggest a new house rule to be applied to all
Mosehansen games with ****ed up house rules:
'The game creator picks his race after at least
half the players have picked theirs.'
