Mictlan dominion spread: Did I get it right?
 

Mictlan's dominion does not spread unless blood is sacrificed; fine. Do I understand correctly that this means that
- NEITHER the home capital
- NOR the prophet
- NOR the pretender
- NOR a temple
spreads dominion via the "temple check" method listed in that excellent article I can no longer find? (And hence means that a prophet for Mictlan is simply a +1 holy bonus?)

OR.... is it that ONLY the home capital and temples do not spread dominion?

thank you

Re: Mictlan dominion spread: Did I get it right?
 

the special mictlan pretenders like lord of the night don't spread dominion.
other pretenders like a pod spread dominion but much slower than with any other nation .
i read somewhere that the prophet spreads dominion too for mictlan .

finally you could try if juggernauts spread your dominion .

Only the pretender receives free dominion spread. Mictlan cannot preach, the prophet does not have any effect beyond +1 priesting, and temples do not spread dominion. Only blood sacrifices produce temple checks, and there are no preaching checks.

Thanks much sir.
So the capital does not, the prophet does not, and the temples do not, but the pretender does (at the normal rate). Good to know!

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">This is incorrect. All Mictlan pretenders spread dominion, regardless of what type they are.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">The prophet does not. You can check this by simply right-clicking on any of your temples.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">The pretender does not spread at the normal rate. The pretender spreads with a single full-strength temple check every turn, while all other pretenders get two full-strength temple checks, and one check as a regular temple.

Thanks Graeme.

What did you mean by full-strength temple check vs regular temple check?

Re: Mictlan dominion spread: Did I get it right?
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">A full-strength temple check is the same thing as a temple check at a dominion strength of 10. A regular temple check is a temple check at your current dominion strength. I believe that each pretender gives two dominion 10 checks, and one check at their current dominion strength.

Do you know by any chance what type of progression is there between temple strength and dominion checks? For example - how much better full-strength temple check that, let's say, strength 1 temple check?

Personally I don't think it is linear, so stength 10 dominion check is not likely to be 10 times better than strength 1, based upon my observation. Does anybody happens toknow some numebrs/formulas for temple checks?
