ConVersion Rates

[Nethog]

When you click on a Temple you see a list of "conVersion rates" for your God, Prophet, etc. What exactly are these rates?

The conVersion rate for prophet and home province is simply equal to your maximum dominion rating. The "temple conVersion rate" is simply the max dominion level times the number of temples you have. Your god is worth the equivalent of 3 temples or prophets.

Thanks for the reference to the EXCELLENT dominions.pdf document. I went off and read it and then realized that my question was not answered. When I returned to my post to state this I see that you have already editied your response with the answer!! Thanks!

I did a quick read of the doc and noticed it myself, hence the fast edit. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

EDIT: I also put a link to the doc on my site's downloads page so I wouldn't have to go hunt it down via forum search again.

Thanks for pointing out the missing info in the dominion document - I'll edit it as soon as I get a chance. If you find anything else that should be included but isn't, just let me know.

Fine, fine work.

An excellent document, although the game is called Dominions never quite appretiated that you could end up holding a province that wasn't necessarily your dominion, just printing it off now.

From my quick spin through am I right in saying there is no harm and in fact it would be good to set up a temple in each province?

Other than the cost, no there's no harm at all.

For most nations, it's 200 gold a pop. That might be more useful in other ways, especially if you're not sure you can hold the province for that long. Depends on whether or not you're gold-starved.
With some setups, it might be worth NOT spreading your dominion everywhere, creating a weak/no-dominion zone with Stone Idols plus not building temples. You might do this if you want to locally escape negative aspects of your dominion, e.g. the mass death from AE/SG Ermor or CW Pangaea, or drain scale so your non-Master Smith researchers can get something done, or keeping your Miasma away from your Library and Sages.
