Why is it easier to see what wishes do in an MP game? Many wishes affect only the caster or the caster's nation; those which affect others can be seen in SP via --comptrn.

I'm only talking about those that affect enemy nations.
Well, I cast both wishes in an SP game.
I got two provinces (150 prov map) and my dom stayed the same.
I supposed that was somehow connected to how the AI works, lots of chaff everywhere, their domspreading habits (don't know if that's so different between AI and Human but Mictlan always dies... ) etc.
If not than the conclusion is very simple - never wish for dom or provinces ever.
I agree that wishing for dominion or provinces is not a good ROI. Even in an MP game, though, the other players are unlikely to be able to tell you how your Wish affected their nation--and if you turn on --comptrn in SP you have as much information about the other nations as a human players could give you anyway.
