Searching for Blood Sites is superfluous !!

They're 1D/1B + 2 100% SDB picks. I have that site in another game right now, it's lovely. Also has a 30% Conj bonus. (Not Blood bonus, but Conj.)


As far as Inkpot End or another disease spreading site, I think it's kind of foolish to say it doesn't matter. Not only is it a huge hassle, but the last SP game that I ended up with a castle on one of those sites, about 1/3 of my commanders were diseased by the time I could get them out, that is a HUGE impact to your cost effectiveness, and your long term capacity to build up mages.


And Chris, while a little unrest probably is indicative of a Brigand Lair, there is never a guarantee that it is the only Blood site present. Things like 40-50-70% Blood, as well as incredibly cheap but potent hunter recruitment, among other things, I think necessitate searching Blood, if you are able to. It's the one path that I always go back over -every- single province that doesn't have 4 sites yet (or is a capital), just on the off chance I missed the jackpot.
