Construction 6 gives you hellsword + blood thorn anyway so why empower when construction 6 is such an important goal for a blood nation anyways ?

For the design points saved that you can use to boost your scales, pretender chassis, or other magic skills as I suggested? Perhaps you happened to miss that rather vital part of the empowering strategy?

Nothing in the empowering process prevents you from researching construction 6 first if that is what you want to for the items, though it might delay it if you set more people on bloodhunting duties.


The major worry would be a unique rush, if you were too late to summon the uniques because you had to spend turns and slaves on empowering your pretender. On the other hand, if you were counting on researching construction 6 before being able to summon the uniques, you should be able to get enough empowerment in the same time while focusing on blood primarily (and construction secondarily)
