HINNOM EATS EVERYTHING - Page 3

But it´s an alternative. That way they wouldn´t be truly "not eating". They would not starve while there was population, or supplies, but they would still need to eat.

Nephilim do not require food due to their supernatural angelic heritage, but eat for fun. You miss the point, they can live indefinitely without food, they do it for thematic cruelty.

I didn't have time to run a test but I'm wondering... do the popeaters increase unrest where they are? It would feel weird if people searching some random virgin to sacrifice drive the people mad, but giants eating indiscriminately all the people just for fun don't.

Hinnom have the pop eating ritualized and under control with a blood cult, with people delivered to the Rephaim as they are God Kings with divine status. Sorta like offering food to the gods.

Baah, if so, Mictan would have "ritualized" the blood slaves centuries ago

Actually Mictlan has "ritualized" blood slaves centuries ago, but only at their central temple. You know, the site that produces 3 blood slaves per turn.

Hinnom has the similar stuff at the city of Incest, Gomorrah.

2 Sites, Sodom and Gomorrah would fit their devilish, blood glut status...

Just an update to this thread, since many people still think Hinnom is over-powered. The cost of key troops has been increased in an official patch, as well as reducing the starting army and, indeed, now the pop-eating cause quite a bit of unrest!

This is discussed, IIRC, in another, newer short guide to Hinnom, which has yet to be linked to the strategy index.

Edit: The new Hinnom guide is here: http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=43369

Well, the solution ofcourse is that, when they run out of Pop. to consume, they don't starve, they just start eating each other.

Yes, I lost a size six chariot due to snacking... As an experiment I gift of reasoned one of their archers, Heh. I then kitted him out. Quite amusing. Is using a bow while you have a shield a bug? next I just gor a chariot, much less for gems spent.
