SCs other than the vq

I put them with an army as bait for the VQ to come try to get me, near the edge of her dominion. The surprise is, my mob of priests is that turn Preaching. If I have them, I have Skeptics, Inquisitors, or dominion-draining items in the army. Result: VQ arrives, gets killed, and oops - her dominion was unexpectedly sucked dry in the same turn. So no ressurrection. Or does the sequence of play not allow this to work?

To the best of my knowledge, dominion changes happen *after* all battles, so you can't sucker an immortal into a trap dominion.

Which is IMHO, too bad. Would be nice to cause the immortal munchkins some contingent paranoid anxiety.

This was considered a feature, ...don't know if changing the phaseorder might potentially be rebalancing.

Edit: there may be one exception to this, but it isn't helpful.

The ermorian cultist event probably changes dominion when it occurs, but this is unlikely to inconvenience an Ermorian VQ.
