As far as I recall, he said outright that the size of your temple didn't matter. I don't think he said anything about sacrifices.

I'm guessing that everyone's population is going up, and they are all finding it hard to keep their herds as big as they would like. Furthermore, as they get more settled in other regards, they need other things less, so are generally less willing to trade? Just a theory. I agree though, that it *is* annoying--even the clan that is known for the size of its herds says it needs all of its cows!

In my last game we went the whole game without an Uraldan--40 years. Ugh.
