Abysya - Blood Hunt/Research problem. For Developers especially.

You don't have to find Sages, you can find Lizard Shamen, Enchantresses, Wizards, Azure Mages, Amazons, pretty much anything that has a decent cost/research ratio that will let you mass recruit searchers while your Blood Economy is driven by Capital Recruitments (and hopefully an Indep, Amazons are good for this since they often come with Blood.)
