Using your neighbor's blood slaves on the battlefield

[mattzu84]

Tinkthank, this is definitely doable. In one of my Abysian games, a mage close to my warlocks did cast blood spells (only my warlocks had blood slaves). I don't know exactly how close they need to be, I had tried to spread them out so that the slaves wouldn't burn too fast. I have only seen it happen that one time though, so there could be other factors involved besides distance. Maybe a critical number of blood slaves?

I've seen blood mages sacrifice slaves who were in the opposite corner of their rear area.

Clever... Abysia battlefield blood just got much more useful.

If this is true, you could give the slaves to a non-Abysian commander to hold, give him a magic stick of some kind so he won't run off, and then your Abysian mages could cast using those slaves....

You can also use backend blood slaves with Pain Transfer. Did you always have your slaves sitting in heat aura Cherry?

what what what, are you saying that a blood mage can use the slaves of any friendly commander on the battlefield??

Yes. You can use them if you script the spells, if the spells arn't scripted the AI will rarely cast a spell that uses them.
