Blood slaves?

[archaeolept]

ooh, possibly - but probably not realistically.

in theory, if they are grouped around one of your commanders during a battle

1)they can be used for blood battle magic

2)i've heard that at the end of the battle, if they are near a mage, they can be "re-gemified"; but i haven't actually noticed this as I'm not in the habit of travelling around w/ loose blood slaves

the lesson is: move your captured slaves to a lab on a fairly periodic basis

If you have any blood mage commanders, put the squad on "Guard Commander", and place the squad next to the blood mage. In battle, a blood mage will use any blood slave standing in an adjacent square, regardless of which commander brought the slave, and collect any slaves that are still standing next to him when the battle ends.

If you don't have a blood mage commander, but can perform blood sacrifices, assigning them to a priest might theoretically work, but I doubt it.

I think I can confirm at around 60% sure that if a "unitized" blood slave is put around a blood mage, she can be used as gem and she can even be regemified at the end of battle. I think I saw something like this in my last game as Mictlan some times. But I'm sorry I can't give a bigger percent of certainty as I dont give a personal name label to all my employees
