At one time I had 4 domes over my main 3 territories and 1-2 domes over most other castle spaces. For awhile I was getting hit with a ton of artillery spells as shown by the few domes still up.
On that note, one of my favorite moments of that game after getting hit turn after turn after turn with wind ride and that summon earth elemental spell was to cast wind ride of my own and see his arch druid show up
Also, one thing to remember is that this was a noob game. I know that there was at least one other person other than myself that this was their first MP game. Most of the players had been in 1-3 games before with Yossar being the exception I believe.
