Pure Dominion victory

I think it would be about impossible to dominion-kill a human player without them knowing it was happening. I did take out Jurri (playing as BF Ulm) in one game (me as GE Arcoscephale) that way but I had the support of a massive army (first Ermorian, then Arcoscephalean) in his capital to keep him from patrolling my skeptics into oblivion. It was just easier and safer to do that versus sieging a well-defended fortress.

Ah, so that was you Ygorl. I'd heard the story but I couldnt recall who the player was. Did you use any Stone Idols? Or just skeptic teams?

Awww, I get to be part of a legend, and then it's like that

Oftentimes it's more cost-efficient to outpreach a single or even a couple fortresses in my experience as well, and it's not that uncommon in MP either. What is more difficult is dominion-killing someone who still has a significant amount of land. While undoubtedly possible, I suspect it's rarely worth the trouble, since usually everybody uses a reasonably high-dominion pretender (which translates to efficient temples and high concentrations of dominion) or else has a special plan to avoid dominion death.

No stone idols, just 20 or so skeptics (one of which was prophetized and preaching) and a few priestesses and archangels. It took a long time.

Jurri, if I had my say, you'd get to be part of *all* the legends!
You've probably earned your way into most of them...
