Blood Magic: The Truth behind those Fruiters that Practice it

[Slygar]

Hmm.. This relates to Dom 1, as I havent tried it with Dom 2 yet since I wont own that game till battle speed is adjustable (heheh ) Anyways, playing as Ermor, I had a Dusk Elder that came with level 1 in blood magic. I empowered him to 2 and since they are stealthy, had him go harvest slaves from a highly populated enemy territory, with a SDR. Now, my question is: does that still increase unrest there, even though you dont control the territory?

Kind of off topic but as Mictlan do you need a lab to make your blood sacrificers automatically restocking slaves? If the answer is yes (which I think it is) do you have to use scouts to ferry slaves around? Or build a lab in every province with a temple? Or put temples in your blood hunting provinces?

You only need a temple for them to sacrifce and automatically restock.

Oh good. That also means that pooling slaves doesn't take theirs away then?

You sure about that? I just gave an independent priest 6 slaves and sent him off to a temple. He sacrificed 2 per turn and when he ran out he just stopped.

Edit: Tried it a couple more times with the independent priest and a national priest and he never restocks at just a temple.

To be quite frank, considering the amount of time that is needed micro-ing all of those little blood mages, we should start a fund for research of an ethanol equivalent to blood.

I can assure you that many medical students worldwide are working hard to find out just how much of their blood can indeed be replaced with ethanol. I'm sure they would appreciate any funds you could spare to help in this vital research, however!

The easiest way I found with Mictlan to gather blood slaves and still auto-sacrifice at temples was:

- have bloodhunters in a province with a lab
- have the bloodhunters in each province grouped together. That is, select one, then hold 'control' while you select the others. You should end up with all of them selected, and (until you split up that group somehow) selecting any one of the bloodunters would select the whole 'group'.
- each round you just have to go to your blood hunting provinces, click on one bloodhunter to select them all, then use the single key command to dump all bloodslaves into the lab ('Z' I think)

Unless things have changed, you need a lab in the province as well as a temple to auto-restock with sacrifices.
