Can someone explain dominion (those scale things)to me ?

I think it was a little easier to understand the way it was done in Dom 1.

The "power" felt in the world by the strength of your new god and his followers is the dominion. If you were a god of death then thw power of your dominion spreading before you might push the scales in that area toward death, chaos, bad luck. If you were a god of nature maybe it would push the scales in a province toward growth and magic. An Abyssia god might take high heat and use his dominion to push a rise in temperature so that enemy troops would fight at a minus. Caelum might push cold.

Also, since dominion afects the stats of your god and prophet, you can use it to kill a god trapped in his castle by bringing in lots of priests to push his dominion completely out. This can make some really powerful gods very weak before you finally charge in.

Is that the kindof explanation you wanted or did you want the formulas and effects? (like what does growth +3 do vs growth -3)

Also,how do i raise those huge armies of undead my foes always seem to have ?

If you mean Ermor then the only way is to be Ermor. Thats his advantage. A mage with death can summon undead every turn at a lab but it wont ever match the automatic generation of undead troops that Ermor gets. While learning the game Ermor is one of the AI's I would leave out.

Oh and some explanation on tax settings and their effects, as well as how to counter them would be nice also

Im not the best bet for that. One of the formula folks can help. All I would say is that taxing makes a province mad and can make people leave (lower the population) unless you patrol heavily. By the way, once the unrest gets to 100 you cant recruit units there so thats a magic number to avoid. Especially in your home province.
