Default Re: Question on Casting Dome Spells

On the question of domes; do players use them much at all in multiplayer?

Domes are expensive and with so many provinces it's hard to predict which possible province needs to be protected. And if BOTH players know which province is going to be attacked, there are absolutely tons of ways to attack it, other than ritual spells.

The domes that work well are expensive to maintain, and are still not 100% effective. It just seems like a pretty rare event that someone will cast some 30 gem ritual at you only to be blocked by your dome. I guess, around the end game the pop depleting spells and your capital are the only obvious targets to attack and block.
