playing ANYONE against everyone

Yeah but dominion spread happens post-combat (for whatever reason - including preaching)

Do you mean spread to other provinces? Preaching never does that.

Do you mean changing dominion in the province the priest is in? Someone posted success in preaching before defeating an enemy vampire queen, you mean this shouldn't be possible?

Either way, with thralls patrolling(without losses due to growth), strong dominion and count mobility you SHOULDNT(not that i dont say wont) have to fight outside your dominion(although attacking can be risky because they could mass preach before you hit them).

I find moving around gigantic armies to clobber at each other pointlessly a buzzkill.

Me too, generally, thats why i like the stealthy raiding form of play i get from LA Ulm . Usually with them i dont need any large armies because of the versatility and raiding potential(even in enemy dominion a flying, stealthy skele spammer who can handle himself pretty well in combat is nice) that lets me not have to have huge battles.

I like the tactic with hellpower and spawning horrors while blood mages are immortal

Other Ulm themes are pretty weak but BF is one of my favourites too and it turned out not that weak once in a MP game its the most versatile ulm theme too.

well, i go for LA Ulm, MA Ryleh and EA Mitclan. But Ashen Empire will always be my favourite for nostalgic reasions.

Mivayan, well i have not tested it but according to the manual page 72, ordinary combat take place at turn resolution sequence 14, while "All dominion spread (for whatever reason) are conducted now." is turn resolution sequence 24. Unless the manual has another flaw i take that to mean that preaching which does change dominion should take place after combat.
