Whose black candle is this?

[MaxWilson]

I thought it was impossible, by design, to tell whose dominion extended over a given province. That is, it's either a white candle or a black candle and that's all you know. However, I recently came across a pre-release Dom3 screen shot that seems to indicate it was once possible to tell. http://shrapnelgames.com/Illwinter/D...s/com_zoom.jpg Did this change at some point, or am I missing out on a command or technique?

hold your pointer over the candles in the upper left hand corner box (when a province is selected)

i think black comes up as "an enemies dominion"

White candle == your dominion == you can identify it.

Where do you see a black candle?

Obake Boy is looking at land under his own dominion. In the upper right of the image, it shows it is Obake Boy playing.

That's too bad. I was thinking there wasn't any point in identifying the dominion owner by name (instead of just "Your dominion") if you weren't going to identify all the dominion. It would be neat to have a religious map of the world, so to speak, as well as the political map of who owns which provinces. From the role-playing perspective, it's nice to know whether your fiendish Caliphate empire is lording it over a bunch of peace-loving Stoics, manly Celtic druid-types, or bloodthirsty Aztecs, in addition to knowing when they are won over to your blood-cult. From the game perspective it doesn't matter, of course, but role-playing wise it would be nice.

I tried to generate such a map for large long-running games but it didnt work out very well. The people in the mod/map subforum are gettng closer to creating all of the tools for that but its not available yet.
