OK. I never was this event before but it happened twice in a few SP turns recently.
I pray the probability of the event has not been raised too much... Ninjas, what a pain in the neck

Well, by that logic, why does shoving a shield and spear in a peasant's hand and saying "militia!" cost 7 pounds of gold?

Most of the 50 gold cost goes toward paying for building permits. Same thing for the spear-guy militia: it's 7 gp for certification. More expensive troops (Vanir infantry) have more complicated forms which require greater expertise to fill out.

Healthcare plan, life insurance, and paying for the press gang.

Don't forget the signing bonus

You might be able to argue that the gold cost for recruiting a militia is actually the cost of taking a peasant out of the fields, meaning less gold is produced... that's assuming there's no unemployment in the world of Dominions, and no way for the bosses to make the remaining peasants work harder to make up for the lack of manpower, or...

Now introducing "The economics of being a menial worker in the world of Dominions, or 'And you thought working in a call center was bad'".

And why not to mention that 15% of the gems you pay for an unique summon actually go to his/her/its press agent?

Just look at the score graphs in warhammerama. I don't have jade knives, but that dominion is the result of 6+ slaves a turn for quite a while. It would be more, but I haven't had the resources to spare.

Also, domkilling an AI and domkilling a human are completely different beasts. The AI may well have taken garbage dom strength with the skaven too.

I suppose you're right. A player is certainly going to use priests to mitigate a lot of it, anyway. It probably isn't too big of an issue with someone like the ogres with a dying dominion, but I don't know. It depends on how they interact with the dominion spreading summons later I think.
