Scout Bloodhunting Nerf - New Numbers?

[Pocus]

is the SDR still counting as +2 levels for a blood mage?

[Kristoffer O]

SDR +1 (since 2.06 or something).

No, it's not strange. There is absolutely no way a strange looking man would manage to knock on every door and point an even stranger looking stick at the soon to be married daughter of the surprised farmer opening the door in a province with more than 5000 inhabitants.

You know, there really ought to be a small risk that a bloodhunter would end up with a pitchfork in his forehead...

Especially if he hunts without bodyguards. You send a 9 hp, 9 str, practically unarmed (maybe a dagger) mage out to look for blood slaves and he never has to face outraged fathers or potential husbands? Now, if he brought a bodyguard of Spine Devils with him, I can understand that his efforts would be unlikely to be resisted. But otherwise, they ought to face outraged relatives fairly often (counts as an assassination attempt) and if unrest is high, full-grown lynch mobs. Except maybe if there is a strong order dominion. And, of course, there's always the possibility that your chosen victim is the next Rhianne the Heroine...

IIRC, there's even a message you can get while blood hunting in high unrest provinces that says "the hunting has become difficult and dangerous"... but it isn't true. Nobody fights back.

But it's probably a little late to introduce this without throwing off blood hunting balance. Maybe for Dominions 3.

Defenitively worth considering

I'm not sure if it's just changed recently but this thread is proving everything I've ever read about blood hunting wrong. SDR is only +1 and the ideal province is size 5000-6000. Interesting.
