Re: My pretender died for no reason!
.. and it's the same way in Dom3:
Initial dominion strength govern how easy your dominion spreads: how often you get successfull "temple checks" which results in "dominion plopps" which travel around to settle down in some province which has less then max dominion.
Thats what you pay design points for!
Number of temples only governs the max number sacreds you can recruit, and up to which strength you can boost your local dom strength by preaching (which only raises it in the prov. the priest is in).
I have seen dom strength go higher then the "rated" strength from starting dom and temple numbers, therefore the max strength seems not to be capped directly any more.
