The mechanics are integral as to how its possible to use it as a weapon. I suppose the top and bottom of it is.

If the enemy is holding his capital blood nations would have the best chance of flattening his dominion provided you could maintain temples around his capital.

If you have his capital seiged. Then Inquisitors and Skeptics etc would work well.

One of the people I play with has a very effective dominion-killing strategy with Ctis(Miasma). Pretty hard to stop a dominion push when your preachers/sacrificers are dying from disease.

But if a player can have 1 or 2 Juggernaughts per province, he doesn't have to dominion-kill his opponent. With that many pearls, he could do some insane things like empower mages for Nether Gate and summon hordes of Nether Warriors.

I think Pan CW can use Dominion as a weapon best.
You get your 100 gold temples and your dryads and your dominion is almost as good as Ermors in terms of pop killing .
The only problem is that Pan CW is imho weaker than Ermor and has more problems to get cash.
In Small-Medium-Size games, i.e. not bigger than Inland i think dominionkill strategies are worth it with Ermor and Pan CW.

You will do a bit of combat/raiding also but mainly rely on your dominion.

In Lategame a dominionkill attempt is also promising with the nations able to blood sacrifice imo. Iirc only Vanheim, Mictlan and Abysia may Bloodsacrifice. I think that Vanheim is suited best for a lategame blood sacrifice dominionkill approach.
