Not to forget that you get rid of the annoying micromanagement of assigning the slaves for sacrifice .
Right click on your blood hunting provinces, ctrl-click on the blood hunters. Press 'Z'. It's more work than clicking pool slaves, but not much.
Thnx i didn't know that .
I did pool blood slaves and then reassign the slaves to the sacrificers atm .
Your solution should be again a bit more quick


I haven't played BoH yet but i will try them perhaps soon .
The 5% goldhit because of Heat 2 only is annoying but shouldn't be too severe i think . No Magic is annoying too but on the other hand free points and you don't need so much research as Abysia .

Since your bloodhunters need SDRs anyway you could go construction 6 as primary research goal . Then you get your devils most cost effective anyway via soul contracts forged by your warlocks .


But all in all i think you are very right that mictlan is better there .
I wonder why so many ppl play abysia but few mictlan .
Your explanations were all very good .
Abysia seems to have nothing which mictlan doesn't have too .
Which other "advantage" does Abysia have over Mictlan than +80 points from heat 3 and normal dominionspred ?
These advantages are so minimal .

Mictlan in return has :
-very cool magic flexibility , clamhoarding , x-breed , with water bracelet the national mages can summon ice devils , the fire priests can summon arch devils .
-hunt slaves
-as you and Huzurdaddi pointed out with magic 3 those 80 gold sacred blood 1 priests are damn good researchers ( 6 rp ) . This even almost beats sages .

So why do so many ppl play abysia ?
