That can be a very useful thing to do. Fighting under enemy dominion give a -1 penalty to Morale, while fighting under friendly dominion gives a +1 bonus. That two-point difference can be important in a close fight, or if you're dealing with troops whose Morale isn't unshakable.

(Think province defense.)

Then there are all of the other advantages that can come with friendly dominion, such as your scales. The effectiveness of various global enchantments also depends on dominion.

Like Gandalf said, the game is called Dominions for a reason. :)

Re: No love for Holy??
 

Of course it can also be useful to keep enemy dominion around.
I'm playing around in SP with LA Mictlan, terrible scales to finance the abusive bless. While you don't benefit from good enemy scales, even neutral scales can be better than what you've bought. Targeted preaching, or in Mictlan's case blood sacrifice, lets you bump your dominion up to reduce enemy scales that are bad, but leave your dominion low to keep neutral scales in place.

Does anyone know the mechanic for scales changing actually is?

Crevan,

No need to apologize. You did very well.:up:

This a very friendly forum, so you won't have to waste any energy worrying about the grammer police. :)

Re: No love for Holy??
 

I have questions as well. I see a lot of priest spells well above holiness level 4, but I have no idea how to reach it. Can't I just make a holy book as an artifact and give it to a priest? Priests should have their levels upped per 2 levels of experience imho. A well literate priest with years of hard experience should know how to preach and pray.

Plus, I want a "Pimp my Religion" feature. Mine involves sacred Mass of Tuna Fish every Thursday, with the Tuna sandwiches SYMBOLICALLY become the flesh of my God(not literally), anime is sacred, and gay couples can marry as long as they swear to run a Tuna Fish farm and give tithes to priesthood.

We accept tithes and donations in silver coins, tuna fish, columbian coffee and anime in cbr. format.

It is a sin to harm kittens, even greater sin not to photograph a kitten in a weird situation and make a LOLCAT out of it.

For H5...

Prophetise a Seraph. Or prophetise a H3 priest and use one of the artefact H boosters.

I like the 'Pimp my Religion' idea - but how about a ritual where the flesh of your god symbolically (or not) becomes tuna sandwiches? Much more interesting.

Re: No love for Holy??
 

My Wyrm can make tuna sandwiches out of the flesh of your Dagon whenever you want, no ritual required ;)

Re: No love for Holy??
 

What's the benefit of getting H5? H4 priest can cast all the battle spells, no?

Re: No love for Holy??
 

It'd make your banishment, and probably your smite/word of power, more difficult to resist, and in the case of banishment, have higher damage/AoE.

Re: No love for Holy??
 

Ha, i remember that! Dryads are really nice for that kind of thing :)

I read some H5 H6 h7 and H8 spells somewhere, am I mistaken?
