Re: Seeking MP Serpent Cult Advice
The Heretics are MUCH faster at cleaning up dominion than temples, prophet, or cheap priests. Heretics don't have to be set to preach, they just move around. Temples can be expensive (and I hear people don't just put them up willy-nilly in MP). You have one prophet. And cheap indy priests are not very useful given the way preaching works.
Consider the simple effect of using heretics to funnel troops (magical or otherwise) to the front line through hostile dominion. Having reread the dominion rules, preaching (which I assume heretics are a form of) doesn't care about your Dominion. Therefore, as the Serpent Cult you can most likely get away with a rather low starting dominion and use your heretics to screen away opponents' dominion.
Heretics have their uses. I am sorry if you are unable to see them.
