-Blood hunting is an action that a commander can do in an owned province where they attempt to collect [[blood slaves]] as the cost of population and unrest. +Blood hunting is an action that a commander can do in an owned province where they attempt to collect [[blood slaves]] at the cost of population and unrest. 
  
 In general you should aim to blood hunt provinces with around 5k population (less gives fewer slaves, more causes larger losses in taxes) and keep the unrest in those provinces low. Give all blood hunters ??Sanguine Dousing Rod??s if available, an effective blood hunting level of 2 is significantly better than 1 and 3 is noticeably better than 2, but above 3 the benefit from additional levels of blood magic and dousing fall off.  In general you should aim to blood hunt provinces with around 5k population (less gives fewer slaves, more causes larger losses in taxes) and keep the unrest in those provinces low.

 Regardless of the initial method, the goal is to produce at least one level 1 blood mage by which to gather more slaves to empower yet more blood mages with. Ideally this will also involve the use of a ??Sanguine Dowsing Rod??. According to blood hunting calculations in [[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10rCi_4rIyxnPPH-Sl9Yg3gEzHeCOp2goN5i7k_Q3dbk/edit?usp=sharing|this spreadsheet by Mandarbmax]], it is better to empower scouts up to blood 1 and then give them ??Blood Thorn??s if available rather than just empowering them, as this results in more slaves per turn per initial cost and more slaves per unrest generated. This conclusion is valid both with and without ??Sanguine Dowsing Rod??s. Summoning ??Vampire Lord??s using ??Curse of Blood?? is significantly more efficient than empowering scouts.  Regardless of the initial method, the goal is to produce at least one level 1 blood mage by which to gather more slaves to empower yet more blood mages with.
