I think I understand how dominion works, what it is good for, and how it spreads. What I dont get is how this works in connection with the dominion value you select during god creation. If my god has a starting value of 2 and I pump it up to 6, what does this actually mean? Does it mean the maximum dominion level (white candle) I will ever get is 6? (But I think I saw 7 somewhere...) Does this affect the rate of dominion spreading or its magnitude once spread or the level of preaching or what?

Sorry if this is obvious, and thanks for your help

It affects how effective your priests are while preaching (I believe it is 10% chance by initial level to increase the candle ?). And most likely how much your God and prophet automatically spread your dominion. Perhaps also the spread by temples. It also affects the number of holy units you can recruit each turn.

So basically, it affects how hard it is to raise your in-game dominion (i.e., the candles ...)
