- the castles are somehow tweaked, but I think there is perhaps not enough emphasis on the importance of admin (and there is too much emphasis on the importance of defence strength in cost evaluation). The preferred castle of doms I, named 'Castle' in doms II, is still a sure bet.

Perhaps just a minor bug, I have my dragon pretender named after my prophet each time he acts in battle, rather strange. (well his name dont change, but in the 4 lines where the xxx cast yyy spell, he is labelled as my prophet).

Also, I miss the auto center feature of doms I, when you right clicked in a province. You can only scroll with arrows keys now?

back to my tests
Hmm, 100p is wrong. Apparently he didn't get the cost decrease when the other arch mages did. Thanks.

I thought they costed 12. I must take a check.

It is not defence as much as the physical design of each castle that is weighted. Have you been besieged yet? Citadels and hill fortresses are devastating to grounded troops.

That dragon prophet thing sounds strange.

F1 nation overview can center things. I can't remember if there is a center key available otherwise.
