Question on Blood Sacrifice (and Mictlan)

You can think of Mictlan temples as being like any other, except that it takes blood sacrifices to activate them. Since temples can spread dominion to nearby provinces, "spread dominion over the world" does make sense. In your test, your god was spreading dominion, which is the only "free" domionion spread Mictlan can get.

First of all, thanks.
Secondly, I cant get that link to work, keep getting the message "could not find acrobat" (although of course I have the reader installed). Does anyone have that .pdf somewhere else?
Thirdly, didnt Tacticus say that blood sacrifices raise dominion in *that province* (I will call this "raise" dominion, or when it happens, "rise"), but does not spread it to neighboring dominions ("spread")? So what you are saying is that it does both raise and spread?
And it seems that even the Mictlan home pantheon god "spreads" dominion (although he will not cause it to "rise")?
PvK: the dominion in my home province never increased.
OK well in any case, thank you all -- I am still confused, but maybe understanding more. Must finish my Pythium game first....
