Ermor themes, too strong?

Preaching in an adjacent province doesn't spread dominion, because preaching only raises dominion in the current province....and if your dominion strength is at least 7, Seraphines, even preaching at a temple couldn't push you over to max dominion and result in spillover anyway.

and a temple one over with dom strength 7, so it seemed really strange to me.

Going from positive to -9 is a rather sudden and dramatic shift, 'tis true. On the other hand, a lone temple alone may not be sufficient to stop a massed array of temples feeding dominion outwards.

i think that game's just about over anyways, since there's absolutely no gold anywhere on that map.

Cradle does seem to be a little lacking in pure farmlands and "large" provinces. Perhaps the next time we try this map, it should be done with "rich" world option to avoid the "no gold" effect. At least there's lots of gems: Have you tried converting gems to gold by alchemy? That's where most gold I use is from.
