Why whould you ever choose Mictlan?

With how many blood hunters do you hunt in a farm province ?

Well I can tell you what I did but I never figured out if what I was doing was the most efficient. I simply loaded up a Tribal King with 50 slaves and patrolled. They were easily able to keep two B2 hunters going with 0 increase in unrest while keeping 100% taxes. Is it worth it? Well the upkeep is only ~ 5 gold for that patrolling force and you still get most of the income from the farm province so it *seems* to me to be a pretty good deal.

Now of course your patrollers can be jacked pretty easily by your neighbors if they are into that kind of thing so it's not concequence free, but what is?

And finally does a slave count as normal or poor patroller

I thought that only mindless and some animals were poor patrollers but perhaps these slaves are lobotomized ( if so it was a piss poor job they still have poor moral damn it! ). Anyway 50 of them covers the unrest from 2 blood hunters.

I've always thought that it was the tribal king who was/is the unsung hero of Mictlan. The cheap blood hunter is nice no doubt but being able to have 2 blood hunters in every province and still get ( maybe? ) 80% of your normal taxes seems damn nice to me. And it worked out quite well in the one multiplayer game where I tried it, but to be honest we were all n00bs so it does not really count.
