Which brings up a question about the cradle game we're playing in. How on earth did my dominion go from positive to -9 in a particular province in one turn?

I've only played the demo, but occasionally, the engine burps when it processes a turn - Once, playing Abyssa, I got a unholy-4 fire-3 devil commander off of a soul contract on the exact same turn one of my priest-4 fire-3 commanders died from a horror attacking him due to one of the soul contracts he was carrying; I only saw it happen once, but it happened.

Also, one option: It appears that pretenders, prophets, home provinces, and temples have a secondary dominion spread effect than just the area right around the pretender, prophet, home province, or temples - the "conVersion rate" - it appears to act by adding dominion, at random, to anything currently in your dominion or next to your dominion that is not at your maximum dominion. If this is so, late game, if two or more players have lots of temples and such, and a mostly peaked dominion inside their own areas of control, it could be possible that 18-19 such conVersion points could hit one border province on a single turn. That is, if the conVersion rates work like I suspect they do, which is no sure thing.

It might be a bug, might not.
