Blood/Mictlan
 

Blood economy. I tried some searches with little luck. Can anyone point me to Mictlan blood economy ideas? Or would you could feel free to write them here. I am having a rough time with this nation…

Many thanks,

Amhazair,

Yes, it is, thank you. How did you search, as I have always had a rough time finding anything with the forum search engine?

I guess you really want to get me in trouble with the boss on a Friday afternoon! Much appreciated on my part, but now I will get no work done for the rest of the day…

Yeah, thanks for the posts. Those help a lot.

Ah, well... I cheated. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

I remembered this post from before, so with Mictlan in the subject and Baalz as writer it was not too hard to get there...

Re: Blood/Mictlan
 

With Mictlan I like to start off sacrificing with my prophet to avoid Dom death, and when I get Const 2 I forge a Jade Knife. I give it to a Mictlan Priest or even better an Indy Priest to do my sacrificing and leave my prophet free for battles.

With this heavy initial sacrificing, you might want to blood hunt early in a 5K province with either a Priest King (tax at 50% is enough to prevent unrest) or 1 or 2 Mictlan Priests. I take a Magic-1 scale to get the most research out of my Mictlan Priests early on, so it's more efficient to hunt with a King. Use an indy commander to shuttle the slaves to your lab.

Instead of Const 4 first, I like to research Const 2, Blood 1, Const 4, more Blood. Summon Imp is a nice little spell, it's cheap, and there's nothing else for my Mictlan Priests to do in battle if my prophet's along for the ride and does my troop blessing. It's really nice to have some Imps if I'm facing archers.
