I was only getting about three slaves a turn with the "Capture Slaves" command, is there any way to increase the amount of slaves captured?

Also, would taking a little Misfortune be terrible for any reason? Like, anything potentially crippling?

Give blood hunting mages sanguine dousing rods, don't let unrest get too high where you are hunting.

Misfortune can give you problems... but not usually much more than 'natural' bad luck would inflict.

"Capture Slaves" is different from "Blood Hunt". That's for Mictlan commanders to gather worthless cannon fodder. I don't recommend it unless/until you have "Mass Protection" or something, or just want a few arrow decoys.

Anyway, different commanders gather different amounts - the Priest Kings are the most efficient (but too expensive to use like that). Basically, it scales with commander cost.

Capture Slaves is for crating free units. They are worst than militia and are called slaves

But the slaves are cheap (free with very low upkeep) and Mictlan often wants lots of patrollers...

A lot of people only pick misfortune 2, not 3. I believe it is because there are some particularly bad events that you only get with misfortune 3.

Also, with 2 you still have a 1% chance per turn of getting a hero. With 3, that chance drops to zero.

Yeah, I know all about how "Blood Hunt" and "Capture slaves" are different, I was just curious because I can't seem to get a very good wall of fodder going with only three slaves per turn.

I think maybe I'll go for misfortune 1 for a slightly better chance for the heroes. or maybe I'll leave in neutral because I really want to see all of Mictlan's heroes. I've only seen Quetzacouatl so far.
