What is that? 8% a Tick, this is with Growth 2 BTW, not Growth 3. Sorry my brain is a little off. I don't know the Ashen Empire death rate off the top of my head, but maybe it's a little under or equal to it. I don't think it's quite to the 1/5th stage.

Edit: As you can see it doesn't start off too bad, but once your dominion starts to kick in (I believe) it starts chewing you down pretty quick. The example above is with 5 Dominion.
