You cannot check magic paths and so on. What you CAN do is check that the pretender uploaded to the server is sane as pretender stored on your harddisk.

To know the stats, you would have to create a local game and have a look. Yes, it would be great if you could browse your own pretender, but the format is closed.

In a word: Yes. Capturing VP provinces helps spread your dominion.

Of course, if the game is using VP for victory condition, they also help you win the game. Check the statistics (F2 in the game) to see if this is the case. If there is a graph over VP, VP are the victory condition.

seems to be something wrong with the game now. When 1 connect through the wetsite it says to haven't done my turn. When I connect through Dominions itself, it says t have. Is there a problem?

The server was down and then restarted earlier today; this might have something to do with it?

Not according to either the Mosehansen site nor Dominions. In 4 hours, Mictlan will get a stale turn as things stand.

EDIT: Actually, it looks like the server restarted again, so it's back to 12 hours.
EDIT: Now it's me being stupid, looking at the wrong field. The server has not restarted.

Please note, however, that Mark is not Mictlan. Mark's turn is done, Gamelot is the Mictlan-laggard.
