Touche.

As for the blood part: I've gotten the slaves. To do it, you'll be spending your time recruiting mostly Second Tiers in your first year (as wolfherds and fortunetellers come up after you get your new forts up, because we need reliable blood mages and they have +1 RP over the fortunetellers; even if the FTs are more cost-effective) and patrolling your capital, but I've done it. I get enough slaves with 4ish (give or take one) blood hunters on my capital or mid-sized provinces with a bit of patrolling to summon a count by the time you wake. Once that is done, you can start sending your Second Tiers to research.

I'll do some trials on it tomorrow when I get some free time.

Yeah, I have no question you can do it - but the cost is falling even farther behind on research.
