Abysia and Death Scale

[Teraswaerto]

I've had several commanders with Soul Contracts in a province with magic +3 for 60+ turns without a single Horror attack.

Blood hunting doesn't have much of an effect on population, patrolling to reduce unrest does have a huge effect.

If you put 3 blood hunters in the same province it does. IIRC 1 slave - 10 pop.

Strange, may be luck comes into play.
I just checked provinces where my hero was attacked every turn: misfortune -2, magic +3.

Have you checked if that province hasn't some strange magic site like Vale of Infinite Horrors?

I've tested it (only at start in capital), indeed Abysia has same income and supplies with Growth3 than Death3, and a better income with Heat3 than 0.
With vanilla game settings I now suppose Death1 or 2 is a viable choice in order to boost Magic scale.
I fear that Death3, and Death2 with Cherryscales (that I use in all games, SP and MP) may still be dangerous in the long term.

Oh I didn't know that!
I've tested too ... sigh it's true.

It's a bad move to boost Magic Scale beyond +1. Since then chanse to get Horror increases seriously.

It was 3 different provincies, where my hero was attacked.
