Blood Hunting Question

provinces into the low 3k's can even be used, if you have cheap blood-hunters. lower than 4k, usually, and i'll be considering moving.

I've been playing blood hunting nations many times, and I wonder if too much BH provokes pop migration events.
Does someone have noticed something similar ?
In which case, it would be better to avoid provinces with a high natural income.

So if all I have is level 1 blood hunters, is it worthwhile to spend slaves forging them a booster to level 2? Most of the blood forged boosters are 40 slaves each, what's the increase in slave income between a B1 and a B2 mage?

B1 = 50% chance of successful hunt, for drn+1 slaves
B2 = 90% chance, drn+2 slaves

So almost but not quite doubled.

And no, don't forge boosters, forge the dousing rods.

Not worth giving boosters to level_1 blood hunters. The boosters should be given to the higher level blood casters and/or rainbow blood casters.

Why exactly would you waste a valuable B4 mages time forging an expensive booster when you can just empower the cultist with 30 blood?

Dousing Rod = 5 slaves
Boosters = More than 5 slaves

Logic prevails!

It seems like unrest causes events like Barbarian Attacks and pop migration, and blood hunting causes unrest.

In general, I like 5-6K provinces that don't have high natural income.

Also note that every point of Blood means anextra slave gained on a successful hunt. That means that a powerful Blood god can hunt like a champ.
