I certainly viewed it as a nice feature after Executor described it. The description in the manual gives no indication that the behavior is a bug (or intended behavior). I looked in the bug shortlist, and it seems that the real problem is ( emphasis added):

SPELL Domes Domes of the same type stack, making it possible to erect any number of domes of the same type simultaneously. All domes must be broken during the same turn or none of them will go down, which means that layered air domes make a province virtually immune to any overland spells if stacked five times or more. Other domes have the same problem, just not 80% stopping power.

From a developer standpoint, it might be difficult to fix the bug without removing the "feature" completely. But, it's not clear that that is the case. I would lobby for retaining the feature, while fixing the bug in it, if not too inconvenient. |
Bug exploits are specifically banned. That makes casting multiple domes an exploit.
