Revamped blood collection?

[BigJMoney]

You don't need it, but the way I play is to get them ASAP. One thing I'm learning abut dominion is that it's many times easier to spread early than later when it has to counter enemy dominion. I usually play Luck3 and Order3 with Mictlan, so affording one temple on a regular basis is no probemo! I also reread your post and noticed that you said "the three of four provinces" with blood hunters. Another thing I do differently is to have a few hunters in almost every province, because I've been worried that too many hunters and patrollers will deplete population in the long run, but I guess one can just find another three or four and move on. I'll try the fewer designated hunting provinces with more hunters option some time and compare the results. It would certainly cut down on micro.

Do the results (ie. increased unrest) of a single blood hunt take place in sequential order as the hunts themselves takes place? If they do, having more than two hunters in a province is inefficient, because when priest1 finds bloodslaves, he has increased unrest for priest2+ to have to hunt in, decreasing their chances.
