[Baalz]

Just to further illustrate the point, I took a dominion score of 10 with an awake pretender. I've got the leading count of provinces, and as far as I can tell the most temples of any nation. I've got as of this turn 28 temples (constituting an investment of over 11,000 gold since I don't need the temples to recruit my mages) out of 43 provinces with a dominion score of 10. I've got friendly dominion in 31 of my provinces. This includes many priests preaching at friendly temples. I have pushed my dominion close to as hard as theoretically possible and I'm not even close to having all my own territory in friendly dominion much less pushing into other people's territory. It's kind of insulting to have you just assert that it's poor planning on our part.
