The new scale mechanics are a bit interesting
. My pretender designs are usually somewhat sub-optimal/deeply flawed but I tend to favour good scales and highish dominion.
Have done everything to aid dominion spread .... to no avail.
On another note I am heading bush next weekend - probably heading off Wednesday night US time - for three or four days of fencing fun. Had some storms at the family hobby farm/block-o-weeds and some fences are in need of urgent repair.
I will try and rustle up a sub before I go so the game won't stall for an extended period
