Also, does anyone know the answer to the blood sacrifices question?

Every slave sacrificed works like one temple for that particular turn. If I understand you correctly you ask if one slave sacrificed works like a temple for perpetuity, that is not the case. So one bloodmage sacrificing one blood slave a turn in a Mictlan temple would behave in a similar manner to one ordinary temple. I do not now if you have noticed but if there is a lab present in a province where a commander is bloodsacrificing he will replenish the sacrificed slaves from the lab store.

yes, it has been posted by the dev some days ago. When you do a blood sacrifice, you generate a dominion roll equal to your max dominion level. That is if you have a max dom of 7, you have 70% chance of getting +1 candle (one time).

Better with too many answers than to few.

This is interesting. Might be something I would do if a major battle were next to a province where there was barely enemy dominion and I wanted to change to morale effects.

But I don't think I will be doing blood sacrifices a lot. I have much better use for those slaves (when I can get them).

For something different, try summoning a Succubus. She's stealthy and can fly, and can try to seduce commanders. If she succeeds, both she and her new "friend" reappear in your nation's capitol; otherwise, she tries to kill him -- hell hath no fury and all that.
Interestingly, I never saw mine try to seduce a Eunuch or, for that matter, anything truly weird like a Mound King. Ewwwww. Perhaps Illwinter programmed in assorted flags to restrict it to non-undead, non-inanimate males?

Ya, I wonder what the potential values for gender/sexual compatibility are in the game, if any. They only appear in descriptions as far as I've seen, but there are implications that some things might be going on - the Cat's Paw for instance, says it might make males weaker, and is supposed to make females more beautiful, but it's hard to know if that's just for humor, atmosphere, and mystery (all of which it accomplishes, even without implemenation), or if there are really effects. Has anyone tried giving a gal dual cat's paws for years to see if anything unusual happened? (Get abducted by Zeus or a lovesick prince or anything? ).
