I would like to know if having troops under your blood mage helps with blood hunting.
It doesn't. The chance of a successful blood hunt are dependent on the population of the province, the unrest level in the province, the blood magic level of the searcher, and whether the searcher is holding a dousing rod.

The chance of a successful hunt is determined by a series of checks.
A random number between 1 and 5,000 is compared to the population of the province. If the number is higher than the population, the blood hunting fails.
A random number between 1 and 100 is compared to the unrest level of the province. If it is lower than the unrest, the hunt fails.
The chance of a commander successfully completing a hunt if these previous two tests are successful is determined by (0.1 + B*0.4)*100% where B is the current blood magic skill level of the searcher. A dousing rod adds one to the blood magic skill level for blood hunting only if the mage already has a blood magic level.
