Actually, I prefer a high dominion as well. I personally feel I need a high dominion, especially in MP; I want my dominion high because of heat (we need it bad), as well as order, and I take other positive scales as well.

The problem with LWs is not only their enc (and here, PDF, an earth blessing can be ok), it's their defense, which I think is 3 or something silly like that. Really a shame. But I still use them often early game, because I have a much different build with a blessing which is nice for Indy conquering, and pleeeenty of points left over for 3 order, 3 productivity, 3 heat (of course), 3 luck, 3 magic, and a castle, with 7 dominion (of course I take death here to afford that).
