(I may be wrong, but I seem to remember this way )

I meant getting rid of enemy Dominions

As an aside, I had a start Dominion of 10, have temples in every province, at least 5 Telestic Animates (and often just as many supporting Arco priests) preaching in every border province, and I am only marginally behind in the number of province to the 2 AI nations left.

Yet, I am seeing 5-6 red candles on every border province. What in the world is going on? Can I do anything to address this?

In MP I would have said someone's massively blood-sacrificing to put his dom in your nation to reduce your income and then drown you in sacreds, but knowing the AI wouldn't manage this effectively can't say

I don't think they are inexpensive enough to spam.
For 10 of them you get a ring of wizardry. For 30 you get arcane nexus.
The dominion problem seems strange though.

Only on the border provinces? How quickly are you expanding? Is it possible that you're simply outracing your own dominion?

As an aside, *red* candles? I always see black candles. Is this a Linux/Windows thing, or am I colorblind?

Yes, Gift of Health heals everything. Even Lifeless. It is, in my opinion, the best Global for it's cost, in late game.
