Scout Bloodhunting Nerf - New Numbers?

[CayseP]

How does the size of the population enter the equation?

No idea. JK might know.

Edit: JK's still on vacation so I made a check in the code.

Basically:
if 1d100 less than (10 + 40xblood) and 1d5000 less than population and 1d400 less than unrest

effect is d6(oe)+blood


Thus lvl 2 blood mages are probably the best deal.

Thank you for the precious hard data.

Was that supposed to be 1d400 *more* than unrest ?

Population should be "more than" also.

Does that mean there's no difference between blood hunting a 5001 population province and a 20,000 population province?

That wouldn't make any sense, since that would require that 1d5000 be more than 20,000 people in a large province.

You're right. I don't know what I was thinking.

It's still interesting that size of province has no bearing on number of slaves in that formula. If that's correct I guess I'll start hunting in smaller provinces from now on.
