They are just arbitrary numbers. The x and y are constants, y is multiplied with the priest lvl. So x + y*(priest lvl) should be something like 20+20*2 = 60% for a 2lvl priest ie a 60% chance of the dominion increasing 1 step in the province where he preached.
Edit: Turns out there isn't any x involved. Just (priest lvl)*20.

Re: Two questions on preaching
To clarify things I made a check in the code.
Temples increase priest lvl by one.
Chance of dominion increase:
In friendly dominion: (priest lvl)*20%
In enemy dominion: (priest lvl)*20-(enemy dom)*5%
Inquisitors priest lvl count double in enemy dominion.
So keep your weak sneaking priests in border provinces.

Re: Two questions on preaching
When you say "temples increase priest level by 1" does that mean a temple in the province? 5 temples in your empire? 1 temple somewhere in your dominion? And I'm assuming the level increase is just for preaching, right?

Wow! And I'm playing Marginon now! Man, did I miss the memo or what! No wonder I couldn't raise my dominion in an enemy province until I sent in the High Inquisitor screaming about them being heathens, sex before marriage, worshipping pagan gods and all sorts of stuff. The annoying thing was they had an immoratal protecting the place. I'd kill him and he'd keep coming back until I "preached him down".
For some reason the description "Inquisitors are especially good at supressing enemy dominions" just seemed like "fluff language" to me. I didn't know they got an actual in game bonus.

Re: Two questions on preaching
Temple in the province allows priests to preach as a priest 1 lvl higher. Every 5 temples increse max dominion spread lvl by 1.

So a ulm priest(default theme, lvl2 holy) preaching in -10 dominion has 2*20- 10*5 = -10 % chance of making a difference. no chance at all.
An iron faith priest (lvl3 priest, bonus praying in hostile dominion) would have 3*20*2 - 10*5 = 70% chance.
In -6 dominion the odds are 10% vs 90%.
In friendly dominion the odds are 40% vs 60.
All assuming iron faith priests gets the same bonus as marignon does.
Very interesting stuff.

Re: Two questions on preaching
How would this work with multiple generic lvl 2 priests. Is each one handled individually, which would still not give them a chance in an enemy province or do the work together to get a better chance?
