Dominion spread into enemy territories?

[dirtywick]

A Juggernaut is also supposed to spread dominion like a prophet.

[Quietly]

basically, it's like this: dominion spread is proportional to your number of temples, and max dominion... so even if you dominion is maxed, it still increases ...

for example, if you have dominion 10 to start, and an active pretender, prophet, and home province temple, you spread "5" build a temple, and you spread "6" total... build 10 and you have 15 spread.

It's easier to build dominion in empty rather than enemy dominions... you can also build via preaching...




but who cares about all that! The main thing I wanted to say is this:

You guys aware that currently, you can recruit more than 10 holy troops a turn? Apparently holy is uncapped, and for every 4 temples you get an extra point of it... for instance if you start with dominion 10, and build 4 temples, you can recruit 11 holy troops... quite useful for some nations/strategies

I am pretty sure it didnt used to be this way in dom2



[edit] oh I forgot you asked about blood sacrifices... for everybody you sacrifice, it acts like that many temples were spreading.

It's every 5 temples, as your capital has its own temple, and it's been that way since dominions 2. There aren't that many nations that can take advantage of it, mostly Mictlan or Marignon who have cheap sacred troops that they can recruit everywhere.

I'm not sure if I understand you right, but IIRC the chance of succesfully spreading dominion is based on the pretender's base dominion alone, extra temples don't increase it, just the max dominion.

Temples, prophets, pretender all cause dominion to spread. It is explained in the manual.

At least they cause more checks for spread to occurr.

That was the case for Dom2, but the manual is pretty clear that it's changed in Dom3.

Whoops, you're right.
Guess I should've read more of the manual then

IIRC this didnt work in dom II. Has it been fixed? Or was I just smoking a little too much endo, and it was never broken?

It was broken, I haven't yet had a chance to test and see if it works now.

What? Are you implying that I'm not a suitable human sacrifice?! That's not very polite!
