My pretender died for no reason!

The manual says it's starting dom and number of temples, and the in-game info you get when clicking on a temple seems to support this.

The in-game info in Dom2 also indicated this, which is the problem here. My issue is that Illwinter provided Bruce with the information on dominion spread for Dom2, information that they later realized was incorrect. Bruce at first indicated that he had used this information in writing the Dom3 manual, which leads to the question of whether the dominion spreading mechanism matches the manual, or matches Dom2.
