>I have heard that heat and cold scale don't affect water provinces.

This was the case in Dom1 but seems to have been changed for Dom2.

I would love to know if it has changed or not.

I haven't played a water race with these scales. I guess you have and have observed the change in values as your dominion affects the province?

Ive played with self-damaging dominion. It works best with nations like Pangaea, Man, Vanheim. The idea is to do hard battles outside of your domain then quickly push up the dominion. It can be effective if you use it to get major blessings and have blessable troops. You will have to be ready to defend your provinces by means other than melee troops.

*nods head*
Wolven Winter - exactly - I was thinking something that pushed the scale one way or the other. But I guess the early harm is pretty high.

It seems, though, that it might be an interesting balancing act to try with a low dominion, high bless effect, researching pretender. Gandalf, it sounds like you have had some sucess along those lines. Which nation has the cheapest sacred troops?
