My Pretender was very powerful and full of Earth 8/construction artifacts, he was a killing machine...Earth 5 Death 9. How did i lose my dominion so quickly?, that is what i'm curious about

Thanks for any help!

So the turn before you lost, you had a bunch of tal white candles in your provinces? Weird!

Yes, a few provinces on the outskirts were shrinking but the middle ones were fine

It might have been one turn or two, i'm not sure, but i was outside my dominion for two turns max...still very alive!

No. You don't need to have your God or prophet inside your dominion. You just need to have some dominion influence somewhere on the map.

Your case is unusual as it's not easy to kill the dominion of a player (especially human) unless he's down to a few provinces.

I owned half the map...go figure

It certainly is mystifying. I wonder if purgatory could have this kind of effect?

Well one thing for certain your pretender and prophet being killed outside your domain did not cause you to lose the game. I've had opponents still alive for several turns where they only controlled one province with zero commanders, prophets and pretenders.

Maybe the game had some type of victory conditions ?!??

Im in one where I have no castle, no prophet, no pretender, and Im still in. I think it has to do with the ability to pray the return of your pretender though Im not sure all the criteria.

Having a priest might keep you goind then your pretender dies. Having some dominion seems to be a factor.

A temple in a province that can create priests? Maybe

A troop that can become a prophet and build a temple in a province that could then create priests? It doesnt seem to think that deep.
