4.Is the Lifelong Blood Contract exclusive to the user or can it be passed around or acquired/used from an enemy once the character is killed in a battle lost? Same goes for 'eye' and 'heart' items.

They can all be passed around I think.

5.I noticed wearing 2 Fetishes don't give 2 gems per turn. Are there any items that stack their bonuses?

Stacking weapons seem to work, but no misc items stack at all now.

8.Is it better to have high level blood mages do the sacrafices for better domination or does that only apply for the blood hunts?

Depends on what you need. High level blood mages can sacrifice more slaves per turn, and each slave generates a temple check and you are limited to one priest sacrificing per temple. If you want a big dominion push very quickly, high level blood is good.

10.Besides Construction research what determines which items a character can forge? The total mage level in a skill or base mage level without items or original birth level?

Current magic paths determines what can be forged, though Forge of the Ancients changes the rules.

11.Do Enliven Statues work for spreading Mactlin dominion or are sacrifices, prophet & God the only way? Statues would help ease the micromangement burden some.

Heh? What do you mean? And I think Mictlan's prophet does not spread dominion.

I believe he's thinking of those telestatic animates - the rocks w/ holy 3. they could blood sacrifice, but nothing can just preach for mictlan.

Eyes, hearts and contracts are all cursed and cannot be removed without killing the bearer.

High level blood mages can sacrifice more slaves per turn, and each slave generates a temple check and you are limited to one priest sacrificing per temple.

Blood magic skill makes no difference whatsoever for sacrificing blood slaves. Priest skill is what matters. An Anathemant Dragon can sacrifice 4 slaves per turn.

Oops, wrong answers. But with the cursed item bearing thing, I did mean that they would get passed around if the original bearer dies.

One thing about blood sacrificing:

You should put a jade knife on every priest who is sacrificing. The Mictlan national nature mage can build the knives at construction level 2. The jade knife allows the priest to sacrifice two additional slaves, thus making your precious temples work harder for you.
