Dominion Spreading effects

[Zooko]

I wish I had known this before I started my current multiplayer game in which spreading my dominion is (was) central to my strategy. My strategy started with dominion 4 and with building temples as fast as I possibly could. Now that it is turn 16 and I own 6 temples, this strategy isn't looking so good. :-(

By the way, this means that the "Temple Information Screen" is buggy. When I had 4 temples it said my temple spreading value was 16, and when I went up to 5 temples it changed to 25. This is consistent with the "dominion doc", which says that each temple gets 10% times current max, if each integer value of the "temple spreading value" thingie represents a 10% chance somewhere. (Which, by the way, is a peculiar and perhaps misleading way to aggregate probabilities...). However, it is inconsistent with what has been revealed in this thread. My actual temple spreading value must have been 5*4=20, not 5*5=25, when I got my fifth temple.
