Re: Crown Map Icon
It's a victory point province.

Re: Crown Map Icon
... which is only relevant if you are playing a victory condition of amassing VPs. In the default setup you have to conquer the entire world, so the crowns are irrelevant.

Except that they help spread dominion, so not totally irrelevant.

I didn't know that. Does that mean if I control the province the crown spreads dominion like a temple, or what? |

Re: Crown Map Icon
Yeah I didn't know that either - is this true on all maps, in every province with a crown??

Re: Crown Map Icon
The dominions.pdf file says that victory points spread dominion only if you are playing with the "victory points" win condition.

What is this "dominions.pdf" you are talking about?
Seems to me it isn't anything official. Now if I could only find my manual ... ok, manual does not say the crowns are only working when vic conditions active, and there's nothing mentioned in the patches fix lists either.
