Default Bogus, bogus Bogus ?

Supposedly, Bogus and his Party of Heros is a singular event, isn't it?

Now, in a game as Carrion Woods (Turmoil-3, Sloth-3, Growth-1, Luck-1, Magic-3; DOM 2! ), with #supplymult 500 and #eventisrare 10, I'm experiencing rather strange events.

By the way .. why do both of my neighbours (R'leyh and Abysia) choose death scale? The AI didn't look which theme I chose and adjusted her setup accordingly, or ..?

Dominion in my home prov went up to 3 without a second temple build - isn't the starting DOM supposed to limit the max DOM you can get, with additional +1 per 5 temples?
Than via special event the DOM went up to 4 .. and keept rising to 6(!) during one turn (pretender and prophet at home or nearby).

I've lost more pop to random events than to pop-killing dominion, got 5 times a priest-3 with some militia (Holy somewhat preaching .. - event). But I haven't been able to find any magic site (A4 W4 E4 S5 D2 N3 H3 U3) bar 2x "Arena" and "Burial Mound" in one prov (8 Prov. searched - magic sites at 40)

And than Bogus attacked my my home province around turn 25. He sieged the castle for 2 turns, than my army arrived to teach him manners, using sleeping vine whips. Worked well. Now, in turn 38, he's back, attacking a R'leyh province I'm conquering in the same turn?!
I guess he was generated as an random event for R'leyh, but shouldn't he show up only once?

This game is strange ..
