Mictlan , how to play it effectively

[Jim_Parker]

Been trying out Mictlan in a futile attempt to get it to work.

One tactic I hit upon is sending in your prophet/high level priest with your attacking army and immediately blood hunting the turn you take it. If you drop the tax to 0% that turn, you'll mostly do away with the initial resistance factor and get a 'free' bloodhunt, allowing you to up the tax to 100% next turn.

Can't quite get used to the non-spreading dominion though. I thought a 5th level priest was supposed to be able to sacrifice 5 blood slaves a turn? That doesn't seem to be the case in my experience.
