You've missed most of the cost there. Unrest from blood hunting is generated before taxation, and then the unrest is removed by patrolling. Your actual income is quite a bit lower than what it would be had you not blood hunted at all.

Hmmm are you sure? That doesnt jibe with what I am seeing. Could be though...

Plus, a few patrollers with 10 or so hunters will wipe out 5000 people in about 5 turns, while putting three or foud hunters in that same province would let it Last for the rest of the game. The best long-term strategy is to spread your hunters throughout many provinces.

What? 1000 people a turn? No way... I searched with like 10 bloodhunters and patrolled with 100 troops in my capital one turn, snagging over 50 slaves and killing 100 points of unrest and I lost MAYBE 300 population, if that. If it was more I'd be very surprised.

With 3 bloodhunters going and 50 guys patrolling I dont see how you could lose more that 50-100 pop per turn...
