Jeez, haven't even seen the winged icy llama. Once more for good measure:

Oh well.

Edit: or P3D for that matter.

I already knew where you were.

No idea. I'm just sitting here beside Mictlan (again) and Kailasa.

Helheim is a peaceful nation. Although I must shake my fist at R'lyeh for stealing my underwater provinces.

This probably won't help your situation much, but in addition to patrolling and reducing tax, friendly dominion decreases unrest and hostile dominion increases it.

Oh, I see. I never noticed the satyr sneaks in the recruitment box. In which case, that's the most likely culprit.

I was referring to sneaking troops in general: having a stealthy army stationed in your territory doesn't raise unrest unless they have a special or the commander is a spy.

EDIT: No, heretic doesn't raise unrest. I was thinking of one of the demon lords when I said that.

My brain isn't working very well today.

All good, Tolkien! Good for Arco,as they're officially absolved now, although my prophet just loves to T'ien Ch'i water torture his enemies.Well,, back to pounding Pangaea!

cheers.

So Calahan, that means I could actually give myself bad scales and suppress my own dominion?

Depends.

EA/LA Mictlan surely can, since they can only spread their dom through blood sacrifices.

I thought about sceptics + bad scales but the big problem is that once your bad scales have set in a province (which mostly happens when a province has your dominion) they will stick around after you remove your dom.
And since the points you save on your scales normally go either in an awake SC (=provinces you take with your god automatically get +1 dominion) or a bless (=high dominion) it's hard not to have them spread.
The only thing I can imagine where this could work is drain (since it's enough to have a few provinces without drain).

Yes. It's most likely to be useful with Drain and to some extent sloth Sloth, because the effects are so easily localizable. I.e. to overcome Turmoil scales you'd need to cancel out your dominion everywhere, but to overcome Drain-3 you just need to overcome it where your researchers are. If you took Sloth for Philosophers and want to pump out myrmidons/chariots, eliminating Sloth in a key province with Iron Mine or something *might* be worth the hassle.
