How to play Ermor

[Arryn]

Actually, 6 dominion should be enough to begin with, especially considering how easy it is to raise by building temples. By mid-game, if you've been building temples on a regular basis, you can easily be at 10 (see my AAR for an example of this).

Higher dominion will spread somewhat faster, but the initial cost in DPs is so high that you're likely much better off spending it on boosting magic picks.
