So the capital does not, the prophet does not, and the temples do not, but the pretender does (at the normal rate). Good to know!

The pretender does not spread at the normal rate. The pretender spreads with a single full-strength temple check every turn, while all other pretenders get two full-strength temple checks, and one check as a regular temple.

Elaborate please Graeme. What did you mean by full-strength temple check vs regular temple check?

A full-strength temple check is the same thing as a temple check at a dominion strength of 10. A regular temple check is a temple check at your current dominion strength. I believe that each pretender gives two dominion 10 checks, and one check at their current dominion strength.

Ok, thank you. Do you know by any chance what type of progression is there between temple strength and dominion checks? For example - how much better full-strength temple check that, let's say, strength 1 temple check?

Personally I don't think it is linear, so stength 10 dominion check is not likely to be 10 times better than strength 1, based upon my observation. Does anybody happens toknow some numebrs/formulas for temple checks?

Haven't you read the dominion guide? It's located here.

Dominion strength of 1 is succesful 10% of the time. Dominion strength of 10 is successful 100% of the time.

Generally speaking the answer RTFM is not considered to be a very polite one. I've read number of guides on Dom, official and none official ones. All of them were read a long time ago though, and I've been playing Dom2 ever since.

Also according to the guide you are wrong. You have said:

...while according to the quide, each pretender does "One automatic increase plus two temple checks". Also note that "automatic increase" is different from your "full stregth temple check", since temple check 10 always increase the dominion in *abjucent* province, while "automatic increase" can do it in the province itself, if dominion is less than 10.

Anyway, thanks for the link, now the matter is clear to me.
