>1) There is this annoying god that owns all the provinces in the water AROUND my land. He pretty much can invade any coast country he wants to - and I can't attack him. What do I do?


Water mages can go underwater, and can take a few troops with them.

Some provinces provide troops that can go underwater. Don't have any? Expand until you do.

There are magic items that allow troops to go underwater.

There are summonable troops that can go underwater. Most notably Sea Trolls.


>2) What are the best units for storming a castle? Once I successfully siege it, I see I can storm it, but it's always tough.

I like flying troops for hitting forts. They can jump the walls and finish the combat fast.

If you have no flyers, get lots of archers and magic. that way you can fire some damage into the fort.

Large tramplers are always wonderful since they can trample through the enemy troops that clog the gate.


>3) Okay VERY dumb question here. Is the only purpose of Dominion to give your pretender god more hitpoints and help their spells work better? Because if that is it, it doesn't seem like such a big deal... I'd rather have 20 heavy cavalry than a commander with slightly more potency - right? Maybe I have something wrong here.

Dominion does more than add heath to pretender and profit, and morale to troops.

You must have some or your god does not exist... game over.

Furthermore dominion is how your god "pushes" his scales into the provinces around him. God of "growth"? He exudes growth into provinces under his dominion. The more strength, the faster the lands become the same as your gods wishes. This is very important for some nations that operate better in specific temperatures.

Also enemy dominion caused unrest in your provinces.

Dominion is important. Play a while and you'll understand.
