Paths of Blood

By the way, why can't I transfer blood slavs immediately to the laboratory? My hands ache from sheer amount of clicking.

This sucks. I also need Blood Sacrifices directly from labs when available. I hate microing Mictlan.

You can just click pool in your lab.

"You can just click pool in your lab."

Oh [censored]...

I am a geek for 12 years of mad gaming and...

I think I lost something.

The only drawback of pooling slaves is that it nabs the slaves that your priests were planning on sacrificing as well, so you can't really use it if you're sacrificing heavily (shift-Z on your hunters becomes easier than manually restocking the priests pretty quickly)

Yep, and if you ctrl select your blood hunters, it keeps the grouping so each turn the steps to milk each province are only:
right click province
left click any blood hunter
shift-z

Still a minor PITA, but MUCH less so.

I do it the same way as Baalz, the micro is small enough that you probably wont notice it until you have 30+ hunters.

I'm using Mictlan priests with divining rods in two 5k+ territories, and not really seeing the return I expected in blood slaves.

Should I just stack more priests + rods in there? It seems like the return is proportional to the blood magic. I'm trying to figure out the best return for my investment. If the return is linear growth instead of exponential growth, then I should be better off just stacking a bunch of B1 priests in the province, otherwise it seems like I should be putting the B2 priests in there.

Any advice would be great.

Select your blood hunters and press shift+Z, that should transfer all of their slaves directly to the lab.
