Some of you advisors recommend a minimum of 7 cows/goods, with 2 or three times that as much better. My impression in easy games is that 21 cows worth of goods almost always works for routine matters. I almost never sacrifice cows or thralls. Cows are too precious most of the time and I almost never have thralls.

(As a general rule I never use cows for anything where goods will do.)

About the only time I''l sacrifice cows is when I'm desparate and don't have the goods, or when the god is one likely to be bloodthirsty , like Humakt or Maran Gor. Blood sacrifice to Chalana Arroy is probably a bad idea.

When I catch trollkin in my grain bins, I usually sacrifice them to Eurmal, who seems to like that.\
