Re: Question on Blood Sacrifice (and Mictlan)
Thank you.
I am still confused about blood sacrifices being supposed to "spread dominion over the world" (the in-game popup description). Is that just a language problem of mine, or what?
In any case: do I understand correctly that a temple is just a building in which to perform sacrifices, and these raise the dominion in that province only and DO NOT "spread" it? That in the case of Mictlan, nothing will "spread" it? (Not so for Abysia.)
By "spread" I understand: move outwards from a point, much like a drop of water might cause ripples on lake's surface.
Thank you for helping me.
EDIT: I just tested, made a Mictlan God (the Mirror), with default dominion, and got no prophet, only recruited a scout. (Just made 1 AI on Urgaia). I did nothing but wait. After about 3 turns, my dominion spread to 1 neighboring province, after 4-5 then to the others. I did get one random event that faith increased in my own province, it went up to 2.
So something must be "spreading" the dominion, either the god, the temple, the home province, or something. The dominion did not "rise", however.
So still confused.
Side question: Is there a point in making the dominion very high during God creation?
