Default preaching and turn order.

since it rather matters for my immortals, i did some testing to isolate preaching in the turn resolution sequence.
My tests indicate that preaching happens before magic battles in the turn sequence, which is earlier than i expected it to be, and a useful thing to know. I have yet to isolate it any more than that, but there isn't much need except for a few odd corner cases.
i'd guess phase 5, but it'd be quite hard to tell really.
the normal forms of dom spread still seem to happen in step 24, only preaching seems to be early.

Short: preaching happens before magic battles, other dom spread is still in step 24 (late). keep your immortals safe

Interesting, I thought preaching was at the same time as other dom spread (prophet/pretender dom spread).

From experience, I can confirm that some dominion spread occurs before battles. Useful to know that it is the preaching part. Thanks!

Default Re: preaching and turn order.

I had a situation recently. The province was +1 candle to an enemy god and I was under siege in the castle with no temple. I ordered 6-8 H2 priests inside the castle to preach, and I moved my Pretender (Dom9) in with hold and retreat orders for reconnaissance. I possibly had +1 dom for a VP province, which I'm guessing I got for owning the castle if not the province.

When the battle was fought, I was - much to my surprise - at 4 candles to my Dom (I'd have set my pretender to fight if I'd known).

Clearly, the +5 leap cannot have been due to my pretender (3 max), nor my pretender plus the VP (4 max). Consequently, I would agree that preaching at least must change Dom before a battle is fought.

From other more anectdotal evidence I'd suggest all other +Dom is as well.
