A holy diplomacy question?

[Endoperez]

Kristoffer O, one of the developers, checked the actual code in this post back at the DomII forum three years ago:

Checked the dominion spread: The chance of a temple generating a possible increase is dependent on the initial dominion of the god. The chances of an increase from the god himself or his prophet is dependent on number of temples though.

Thus the effectivity of temples are determined by the godly power of the pretender and the effectivity of the pretender is dependent on his number of adherents.

This applies to blood sacrifices as well. Make sure you have high dominion if you are Mictlan. Later temples will not have much effect apart from a higher max lvl.

The max dominion and the ability to lower enemy dominion is dependent on temple numbers.

It seems I misremembered. The only factor the number of temples doesn't affect is the amount of dominion the temples spread. All other factors increase with the number of temples.
