Advice Needed

[NTJedi]

I'd like to say... so far everyone here seems great.

How does someone get their dominion beyond 6 ?? I saw one of the computer opponents have a dominion of 7 ! And this was where I had a level_2 Ear_of_the_Lord secretly preaching 5 turns before. How high can the dominion go for a territory and how is it done??

Double Thanks!

A second thought.... I bought the game back during late October and its still listed on BackOrder. I'm hoping it will arrive by Nov._20th matching vacation time and all. Does this BackOrder status mean I won't be getting it until maybe middle December? ?

Dominion can get up to 10 if you chose to have 10 when you created your god. Also max dom is increased by temples. Every five temples bulit increases max dom by 1. So if you chose dominion strength 3 when creating your god and have built seventeen temples you can get a dominion of 6 in a province. Priests can preach up dominion (up to their level +1 in temples).

* Edit: dominion spreads from your god, your temples and your home province. *

I love to play Ulm with an uber high dominion.
Don't ask why..I just like it.

Would you (or somebody else in the know) be so kind to clarify what does conVersion rate mean exactly? The whole struggle between dominions thing is very fuzzy for me (meaning, how do they push each other on the stratmap).
Thanks in advance.

Because this isn't quite obvious and he probably doesn't have the manual : To raise your god's base dominion strength, left-click it in the "Dominion" screen during god setup. Each additional point of dominion strength costs more points than the previous (based on the difference from base dominion strength for that god form, IIRC; I don't recall the exact formula but it is pretty similar to buying up magic).

Current dominion strength (starting dominion strength plus ((temples/5) rounded down)) influences the spread of dominion from your god, prophet, temples and home province (unless you are Mictlan) and the maximum dominion strength you can get from those things.

IIRC if you have a low dominion strength, a high level priest can still boost dominion strength above the maximum you could have gotten from radiating. If so, Ceremonial Faith probably aids this effect, and it may also apply to blood sacrifices. (It will probably all be in the manual...)

I've always wondered as well...
