Blood Slave/magic Questions

If one blood slave sacrifice is supposed to be equivalent in power of the dominions spread of one temple, then, unless I have been totally unlucky during several tests, and in at least a pbem as Abysia, I must say there is a bug in the formula. The effect is much lower than expected.

Do the check yourself, you will see.

I don't think you truly comprehend the awesome might of blood sacrifices on dominion spreading. Firstly, for maximum effect, you need strong dominion strength: Build a lot of temples, or take high dominion at creation.

Secondly, to avoid having the effect buried in background noise....sacrifice a *LOT* of blood slaves. In most of my Mictlan games, I generally drown my opponent's dominion in a sea of blood well before I ever face him, sometimes before I ever meet him, as my dominion strength can hit 10 in places 3 provinces out from the nearest border. I don't think you properly appreciate the power of the Sea of Blood.
