Ermor themes, too strong?

What did you have as your dominion strength, and how many temples do you have? Was anybody preaching? I'm not sure how, exactly, dominion radiates outwards from temples, if the provinces around it also contain temples and every province for several hops is max dominion...and contains more temples. I have an absolute buttload of temples....it's possible that a dominion spread check into a neighboring province simply continues to ripple outwards if the neighboring provinces cannot hold more dominion: If your dominion is poorly reinforced and you do not have many temples (and my scouts sure don't see very many temples), your dominion may not be equal to the task of fighting off a shoving match.

And I do have a lot of temples. It's not like I have much else to spend my money on.
