There is also the option of targeting is blood saccers and blood economy to slow him down, raiding to destroy temples where the saccing is done, and using counter preaching to buy more time while you kill him. A well executed blood sac dom kill is pretty hard to counter though, since you might not even have a border with that player. In the Gath example the answer is clearly to blood sac yourself.

H3 priests can only generate +6 dominion no matter what. No matter how many you have that's a max of 16 candles per province. If he's got enough territory he can overwhelm this, period.

You are wrong. Stop replying please.

You do not understand blood sacrifice, you do not understand preaching.

Thank you for not playing.

Goodbye.

So how many priests preaching in a zero dominion province would it take to overcome 6 temple checks landing there? (Your temple offsets his, assuming equal provinces) Probably a bundle... significantly more than 6, I imagine.

In a certain other forum, frequented by mad / bad / crazy people obsessed with modding Dom3, there is a very extensive article in the Lords of War section titled "Domkill : The Power of Faith" which (to my limited knowledge) seems to do a very good job of picking apart the mechanics of dominion, executing a dom kill, and trying not to be dom killed. I'd suggest its worth a look.
