Now I know why they have a lot of people as play testers.
I guess I'll have to tone down the prophet ability.

I just tried another game. I went against Mighty AI's. The *ONLY* commanders I recruited was gem mines. For most of the first year I also recruited as many speed demons as I had resources for. It didn't take long before I could summon Wraith Lords, I used them for the rest of my expansion--the gem mines were pushing my dominion out fast enough that I was always in friendly dominion so it didn't matter if they died.
When I bumped into my neighbor I put very heavy PD into the border and pretty soon I had my entire border at PD 125. I put wizard's towers on all the spots that would produce maximum resources and kept recruiting gem mines.
Once the expansion was over I started putting some mines on abomination summoning although it never really mattered as I never went to war--one AI did attack but he couldn't get through the PD, I never actually did anything. Research was entirely done in the fall of year 5.
I was at only dominion 4 but got two dominion kills and my dominion was continuing to expand, the outcome was obvious. My only temples were where I needed them for recruitment.
I'm going to try it again against Impossible AI's.
