Dominion
Looking at the screen shots, it appears dominion is now represented by a number of candle icons rather than a single candle of a certain height. Dominion doesn't appear to be as easy to see with the new system, but I could be wrong. Just wondering if there is a better graphical option to see dominion spread at a glance.

Re: Dominion
In Dom1 they could manipulate the pixels individually. Dominions caused your whole area of the map to get lighter. Then they switched to an icon-style map and we lost that. (I miss it)
Unless the graphics layer gets heavily into layers and masks Im not sure we will ever be getting that back

I know this feels like a strange idea, but... could it be a candle? Getting bigger when dominion grows? In fact, it would kinda look like the one we have in DomII, the one that can be turned if the player wants to. 
Either that, or a province over-lay like in Dom:PPP. I didn't see any other overlays in the map, though. |

Re: Dominion
I liked Dominions2 way much more. One candle is much more stylish. The only thing that was lacking was an easy way to count numerical value. I think it would be enough to put simple, uh, carvings on the big candle.
