Default Re: Does starting or current Max dominion determine temple checks?

Hah, awesome, I definitely echo the thanks. I knew blood sacrificing was effective (I've mentioned using it aggressively in a few of my guides), but now I know why. I suggested teleporting 4 Marverni druids in with jade knives to build a temple and sacrifice would have the effect of 20 temples, but it's actually 36! No wonder it's so effective! 36 temple checks in a tight group will wallop the hell out of a marginal enemy dominion...

I also want to chip in with the thanks to vfb. I lot of questions answered here that's for sure.

I can't check, but I'm pretty certain the manual says that the capital gives 1 temple check. Which has now been confirmed by vfb's tests.

So does this 2 temple checks for sacrificing thing count as a bug? Is the manual explicit about it?

That's what I called the "home province" in my tests above, which showed that it actually generates 2 temple checks (not 1 like the manual says).

I'm happy my testing was appreciated!

The manual is explicit about each blood slave sacrifice generating one temple check (my testing showed it generates 2 temple checks).

Perhaps it's one check from being the home province/capital, and one from the temple there (unless you razed it first for the purposes of this test?)

It's two checks from the home province/capital, and one from the temple there. +3 white candles per month with no prophet or god present, for a dom-10 nation.
