That one way to go. I just like to maximize my unobtrusivness. Playing maximum stealth, things like strong dominion act against you.
Also you can take harmful scales if you arent pushing the dominion outward. Most of your activity will be outside your candle-lit zone, and the bad affects will mostly affect anyone attacking your home province.
One of the things I like about this game is the lack of "the winning strategy" to find and then be done with it. There are tons of strategys. We all get one.
