Guide: Does starting or current Max dominion determine temple checks?

[chrispedersen]

Vfb, I have always found that all the priest needs is *1* slave, regardless of H?.

Then so long as you give the blood sacrifice order, the appropriate numbmer of slaves decrement from treasury.

I'm gathering I'm wrong on that.

Is there anychance that blood sacrificing allows both the the temple check AND the sacrifice?

You only get as many slave temple checks out of the sacrifice as double the number of slaves your sacrificer is sacrificing. So if you have an H4 with a jade knife and give them one slave, that's just two temple checks. Sure, they'll grab 6 slaves out of the dungeon for the next turn, and if you don't pull them off, you'll get 12 temple checks for that next sacrifice.

A blood sacrifice at a temple gives both a temple check for the temple and 2 temple checks for each slave sacrificed, unless you are EA or LA Mictlan, in which case you just get 2 temple checks for each slave sacrificed.

It might be that Mictlan temples do not spread dominion normally, but they have dom spread when there's sacrifice there - or the first slave sacrificed each turn counts double. Need test with H3/H4.
