Wondering if people would be interested...

Aldin is correct. Let's say you have an Oracle (base Dominion 4) and an Archmage (base Dominion 1, 30 points). For the Oracle to have a Dominion of 6 costs 21 points. For the Archmage to have the same costs 105 points, plus his original cost of 30 points, for a grand total of 135 points. Thus, if all you want is a Dominion of 6, it is wiser to take an Oracle than an Archmage.

That's what the database will be designed to do. The above example is rather intuitive, but I hope to make it so that other much harder questions can be solved just as easily. The example is not meant to lecture or teach anyone the cost difference cited.

The cost to _increase_ Dominion or Magic skills use the same formula, however. At least, my research has led to that conclusion. Also, to get level 1 in a new magic path requires the number points mentioned under each Pretender God, and it _also_ counts as the first 'increase'. Therefore, the second point costs 16.

Hope this helps. When my fiancee is through playing Heroes IV, I'll probably start to work on this.
