Mictlan , how to play it effectively

The Panther said:
I have to agree about the sacrifice thing. It seems to work odd at best. The dominion spread from sacrificing does not seem to be the same as the dominion spread from temples for other races.

After some tests on Mictlan some time ago I came to the conclusion that the chance to gain a white candle with a sacrifice is 4 times less than an ordinary temple check.
If the chance to get a candle is 10% * maximum dominion, the chance to get a candle with a slave is only 2,5 % * max dominion.

I dont know if the devs are fully aware of this, I think I've never seen an official post on that question...

It makes sense - as a bug : isn't sacrifice supposed to be 4 times MORE efficient than Temple check ?

Yeah makes sense . I remember in my first mp game i was ermor and Aku was mictlan . Only 1 of my provinces bordered one of his provinces and he sacrificed with a jade knife in all provinces close to my border and i had only 2-3 temples close + my prophet and still the dominion stayed at +1 for me for 10+ turns .

Here's some advice I learned the hard way. Don't attack Marignon early. Holy Pyre > Fiends of Darkness.

Hm i think unless you are abysia attacking marignon early is always extremely dangerous .
