Re: Next patch
Actually the last time I ran the test (Which was the previous patch, I believe) each spell just checked against one air dome, no matter how many were in the stack. If it penetrated the spell would work and one dome would be broken. The next incoming spell would then check against a dome, assuming there was at least one left.
Thus, if there are 10 air domes on a province and someone launches 45 mind hunts at it that means (on average, of course) that 9 mind hunts will go off in the province and one dome will be left.
I didn't try this with multiple dome types, someone else can be my guest =)

Re: Next patch
Last time I had multiply domed province [1-2 fire domes, 2-3 air domes, 1-2 astral domes] some spells got through [I got message about fire dome killing enemy mages] but none of them went down.

Re: Next patch
Im guessing that with Kristoffer doing most of the updates lately that the gameplay and mod wishlists will be be looked at more than maps and server wishlists.

The fire dome effect can still strike enemies without the spells penetrating the air and astral domes. Each dome is like a layer of cake... if they penetrate the fire dome they can still be stopped by the astral or air dome.
Based on the response from Micah it sounds like the domes need more testing. I'm sure if the multiple dome issue was fixed it'd be listed on the progress page or updated on the bug shortlist... no reason for Illwinter to secretly fix a major issue.
