Beginner Questions

Blood magic is probably the most interesting school/path (with blood magic, they're basically the same) there's a lack of stunning battle magic, although the best buff in the game is probably blood vengance. But blood has tons of cool summons, and gets some of the best, if rarest sites in the game. Summoning Circle? 60% blood discount? Lets cast Infernal Forces for twenty slaves! A somewhat related blood magic question? Am I the only one that is finding blood hunt to be way, way more effective? I'm having blood 2 mages getting about 10 slaves a turn, without a dousing rod. Seems like more than it used to be.

Lack of battle magic? What about hellbind? life for a life? claws of cocytus (well... maybe not)? Bloodletting? (I like it).

And call horror is cool too.

I have a question about blood slaves:

Since they show up in battle as units, can they be killed by sorcery spells that target units in the map, like Fires From Afar or Wrath of God? That might be interesting if they could.

I don't think so.

In the game startup I select the option that allows "Renaming." What exactly does this allow me to rename and where is it done. I have been unable to find a way to rename cities or mages/priests.

when you are viewing a commanders personal info, hit r (if I remember right)
