Yes. This sounds like someone's pelting you with Seeking Arrows. There are a few ways to deal with it:
- get better armour, Seeking Arrows are regular damage rather than AP/AN damage
- get a shield. Same reason.
- become ethereal somehow.
- magic domes to protect the province from any spell
- failing that, swarm the province in independent commanders to dilute the target pool.

[*]When you cast (most) battlefield spells that enhance units, they can only affect the same unit once, right? You can't cast strength of giants et al over & over on the same unit, can you? And that extends to Sermon of Courage too?

Yes. I think so, although for some reason I have the notion that SoC also "heals" damaged morale.

[*]Does building each 5 temples which raises your dominion equate to just the same thing as when you select your dominion level when starting a game? I could sacrifice starting dominion and compensate by building temples?

I should, but it doesn't. While it does raise the maximum dominion your provinces can have and the number of sacred units you can recruit, all your temple checks will still use your god's native dominion score.

[*](If I ever get a computer again and can play Dom...) If I play next game as first ever Blood (and I don't want to read a guide like Baalz which will give me too much!), is the essential idea that I want to keep plundering virgins from opponents' lands and not my own?

Err, not really ? Not sure what gave you that idea. Or what you consider your opponents' lands, since you can only Blood Hunt in provinces you own
