Dominion's effect on passive intelligence?

[Huzurdaddi]

Does anyone know how this works?

Heck does anyone know how passive intelligence works at all? I'm totally mystified!

Sometimes I get great reports. Sometimes I get almost nothing. It's weird.

I'm thinking that dominion somehow plays a role ( but to be honest I don't have any evidence ).

Has anyone cracked this nut before? I did a forum search and there was only a vague reference to it.

I think that having dominion in the province is functionally similar to having a scout in the province, when viewing military forces, and will also display the population of the province, which spies do not reveal.

However sometimes I can see armies in provinces adjacent to me even when I do not have dominion in those provinces. Uhm ... at least I thought it was when I did not have dominion. Perhaps I was not being careful with my observations?

As far as I know:

1) if you have positive dominions in one provinces (independent as far away is form your provinces) you got info about: population, income and resources

2) you have infos about enemy in the provinces only for provinces close to your controlled provinces or where you have steath units

I know that the info (in 2) are accurate between 50% and 200% of the real valus. I don't know if having positive dominions gives you better infos about enemy troops, but I think not!

Spies gives you more accurate info than scouts. They also gove more detailed report, informing you about things such as magic sites in the province.

If you have arcoscephale it does

Are spy better at scrying enemy provinces than scout or can they just spy at enemy castle as bonus?
does anyone know how the accuraties are calculated?
