Regarding 45 temples with starting dominion of 1... Sorry if something's changed, or this has already been addressed, or something, I don't have time to hunt. In Dominions 2, at least, this was how it always worked. Your starting dominion determined the effectiveness of your temple checks (including blood sacrifices) for all time. Lots of temples would raise your maximum dominion, but not your temple check power. Made points spent on dominion more worthwhile...
