 My preference, clearly stated in my PM that I quoted, was that you continue fighting, but that resigning was better than finding some poor schlub to take over a position even you don't want.

 fair enough.  I have no idea what was happening w/ your expansion force, though it seemed to have been able to gain a territory/turn. 
I would guess half the nations in this game have an awake SC and a dom of 9 or so. Very few will have a dom of 7 or less; even those could probably negate dom kill by preaching, unless you managed to kill their prophet.
edit: delete the 2h and the trn file, have the turn file resent, and try again.
