Dominion Vs Military

Cohen said:
The assumption that your domain spread to max 2 provinces away from the source is absolutely false.

How to see this?
Create a God with 10 Dominion, create a game with this god and another human god.
Make him hosting (without playing) for a lot of turns, and then check. So you'll see how the dominion with spread with capitol and god only, without moving them
I got 50 turns, and the domain was in provinces far away from my capitol. (5 provinces away it reached for now)

yep very true . i tested it myself now too . probably the temple spreads work the same way too .
so far i too believed as Arryn the 2 province rule from the mentioned dominionguide.pdf .
hm this leads to new interesting possibilities :

only build as much temples until you reach dominionstrengh of 10 ( so 10 when you start with dominion 8 etc. ) .

furthermore i think when you have maximum dominion in a province the dominionspread check always wanders further to provinces with not maximum dominion strenghts .

so in theory playing as mictlan there should be no big difference when playing with max dominion when spreading dominion via 5 blood sacrifices near your capitol temples or in temples near the front .
only the center of maximum dominionstrengh should vary but total dominion strengh should be the same with both methods or ?


in general you can put up the rule then i think :
build as many temples as you need to reach dominionstrength of 10 and all additional temples are only optional when you can afford but not neccessary .
