Re: How blood sacrifice is supposed to works
 

Must be a stroke of bad luck then. An anathemant dragon (for 2 turns) then a high priest (for 4 turns), failed to rise by one candle the dominions of 2 adjacents provinces. If I understand well the rule, I generated the power of 5 or 4 temples (+1 for my own temple).
These 2 provinces were not under the influence of an enemy temple, so it was rather weird.
