 The changes to blood hunting checks from Dominions 5 to Dominions 6 mean that you now need a blood hunting level of 3 ({{path>B3}} or {{path>B2}} plus a SDR) in order to maximize blood hunting success, compared to a blood hunting level of 2 in Dominions 5. The minimum population for maximizing blood hunting success has also increased from 5000 to 7500 population. The changes to blood hunting checks from Dominions 5 to Dominions 6 mean that you now need a blood hunting level of 3 ({{path>B3}} or {{path>B2}} plus a SDR) in order to maximize blood hunting success, compared to a blood hunting level of 2 in Dominions 5.

 The reduction in unrest caused by units with [[reduces unrest]] tag can remove unrest before it impacts income unlike all other ways to reduce unrest. There are a limited number of units with this trait, notably [[ind-ma|Ind]]'s ??Bishop Vicomte??s and the ??Phlegran Priest??s of [[phlegra-la|LA Phlegra]]. The amount of unrest reduction needed to sustainably hunt a province without hurting its income will depend on the number and quality of the blood hunters. The reduction in unrest caused by units with [[reduces unrest]] tag can remove unrest before it impacts income unlike all other ways to reduce unrest.

 In Dominions 6, blood hunters can now be targeted by assassination events which specifically trigger on those given the "Blood hunt" command. Providing bodyguards to blood hunters can help blood hunters to survive these assassinations.
