Which means they are all still limited by the overall rate of Human Reproduction (slower than Fae by design), with the added inefficiency of also needing to hold that resource back to provide food and/or Power. Im thinking of this in terms of the long-term logistics of fighting a never-ending battle with the Outsiders.
Separately (because this is an interesting line of thought) int he specific case of Blampires we have it by WOJ that they gain power via straight-up kill count. The the question becomes "Which is a better weapon: 100 level 1 Blampires or 1 blampire powered up by killing the other 99?

Where do you get this? I wasn't aware of any real difference when they are breeding with humans. When they are not, we really don't have any evidence (unless there's something in Cold Case.
In fact, with the Fae being long-lived beings, I would guess that the opposite is true. Otherwise they'd have over populated the planet already.

Cold Case confirms that a Drive to Reproduce is common throughout the Courts (or at least Winter?) as a necessity for supplying troops. Combine that with the simple fact that not all Fae (ex. the Rawhead or the Animal-types) cant actually all be birthed by normal mortals, and it seems sound to think that other modes of reproduction would also be leveraged where possible. So I figure Human-types are going to be hyper-horny (and maybe hyper-fertile? Can Winter BE Hyper-fertile?), Cat types are going to likely have huge litters (max of normal if not supernaturally advanced), and I tend to picture dewdrop fairies like Toot being born more in a swarm.
Regardless there is a Court Drive to Reproduce, which by definition means that fae are going to reproduce faster than than their pure-mortal counterparts by some increment (could be tiny, I admit).

I'd mix it up. 1 Blamp buffed from offing 49 civilians, plus 50 low-rank freshly turned.
For fun, Google "One quintillion electric eels vs. one magma." 4Chan can be a hilarious place on occasion.

Q - I don't know how many people (humans) you know, but ALL of them are super horny by my estimate. LOL
As to the "liters" of the Non-humanoid fae, I can agree.

Exactly. Now take whatever that human level is,and add to it. Fae nature is an increase to the baseline human drive and so will always and by definition be higher.
But looking back Im getting us sidetracked. The original idea was that somebody might have planned a super-army of Vampires to actually end/wint he war at the gates, so they wouldnt have been planning for the same sort of eternal stalemate engagement that Winter has
