Hi Pythium, Hi Caelum.

Pythium, could we come to some agreement about Obalshin? I would hate for us both to bump heads there.

Whoops, forgot to recruit another researcher!

Drat mountains, there goes my lovely smooth expansion plans. Ah well, it let me restock and resupply my army, at least...

Oh god, it's a black candle spreading Heat and Death. There are only two answers to that riddle, and they're both just awful.

Well that'd be me. Hello neighbour! (Positive scales in your dominion are negative to other nations, right? Hence the death?)

[DragonRider]

No, whatever your scales are they are for everybody, meaning that the owner of that dominion almost certainly took Heat and Death. Death is generally a very unpopular choice, so I figure the most likely owners are C'tis (who have a vested interest in making their dominion a hellhole for everybody) and Abysia (who allegedly are not affected by the supply penalty for Death scales). Those being the two nations that I really didn't want to start near.

It's technically possible that the province just had a site that increased its Death scale, but I'm not holding my breath on that one.

A death scale site would be nice. Usually generates Death gems, which are always useful.

Somehow one of my provs has misf 3 at the moment, so I think there is a site there.

Scales DO show up the same for everybody, yes. However, positive scales are not positive in negative dominion. Technically I think that what we decided was that most scales turn out to actually be neutral, with the exception the luck scale. However this is one of the more arcane subjects in dominions, and I can't be absolutely positive my recollection is correct here (there's a lot of conflicting statements on the matter too, and I can't be bothered to go looking right now). Anyways, assume that enemy dominion means neutral effect at best, and negative at worst.
