Actually it's the reverse: your MR is LESSER in a magic dominion.

Hey, I beat you by 5 min on this one !
Nagot, I'm sure you have interesting ideas on how to play Mictlan - personally I don't have many more than trying to get a F9/A4 pretender at a non-ridiculously high cost

And does someone really understands how work the Mictlanese "non spreading dominion" ? Is it just that Temples don't spread dom ?
Then what is the "good" method to get it spread ? Sacrifice is tedious, costly and not that effective according to my own small test run.
Do Desert Sun and Restless Worshippers themes work with Mictlan and let the dom spread or not ?

Ohh so much questions ..

My best idea about Mictlan is to not play them at all.

Frankly playing Mictlan is a MM nightmare I don't want to experience anymore. I'll change my opinion when IW adds a toggle on leaders that says don't poll gems/slaves

- personally I don't have many more than trying to get a F9/A4 pretender at a non-ridiculously high cost

I've tried high-level blessings when I still had fun playing Mictlan, but I always got better results with a dedicated SC or a multpurpose half-rainbow with something like ~3 in the paths the national mages don't cover.

And does someone really understands how work the Mictlanese "non spreading dominion" ? Is it just that Temples don't spread dom ?

They don't. Only the pretender 'radiates' a bit, 2 or 3 times less than other nations's gods.

Then what is the "good" method to get it spread ? Sacrifice is tedious, costly and not that effective according to my own small test run.

I agree on all points.

Do Desert Sun and Restless Worshippers themes work with Mictlan and let the dom spread or not ?

I believe Desert Sun spreads heat only in provinces where you already have dominion, if it works at all. Restless Worshippers might work, but I haven't checked.
