What do you want first?
C) dominion, scales, and castles

I have two vague ideas of what you are doing. I would appreciate if you commented these and told if you (or why you wouldn't) do things like this.

A stealthy nation often goes out of its dominion, so I quess one could take bad scales and low dominion and fight as far away from it as possible. This would make detection of the nationn's citadel less likely, but the citadel wouldn't be very good as the bad dominion would affect it.

It might be possible to take scales that benefit castles, like production and order, and build temples in the same provinces that one builds his castles. The player would then have strong spots of dominion all around the map, each one would have dominion bonuses for armies. If going this route, taking drain and researching in areas without temples near could be a possibility. To be able to use this one would ned a cheap castle, and cheap temples. I think Pangaea could pull it off.


So, is either of these strategies workable?
