Well, I am now at turn 36, and I can't say I have really played with blood yet. I have 5 nice devils, currently playing bodyguard on my pretender, who have never seen battle. I haven't used my sacred troops yet either, although I have a few. And the reason for both these facts is that I have been too busy taking advantage of opportunities to rush Pangea, then marignon. As a result, I have a nice territory, but not much else. I am currently taking advantage of a lapse in hostilities to try and organize a blood economy, build myself a real army (I relied heavily on mercs, protected by lots of cheap troops), and sort out my mages for combat.
Still, I expect the opportunity will come. Ulm has apparently been doing very well for itself in Europe, taking Vanheim's, Ermor's and Pythium's capitals. In fact, Pythium has been thrown out of the game. Ulm now leads in income, has more forts than any other AI, and still has a a few weak neighbours (Marignon and Pangea) to conquer. I expect a nice challenge when we meet. I must make magic work, preferably blood magic, or I'll be creamed. I have some time, but I must figure it out
