Dominion spread into enemy territories?

I haven't studied the dominion spread algorithm much either, I am playing on a large map (Glory of the Gods, IIRC) with a dominion of six in my setup. I have taken about 25 provinces and put temples in most of them. I currently have dominion of strength of 3-4 in enemy (not neutral) provinces 6-9 spaces away from any of my troops, across an ocean that I have not entered yet. I was a bit surprised, since this covers about 10-12 enemy provinces. My core area dominion is about 9.

Are you playing SP? The AI tends to be very bad at keeping your dominion at bay; I also like to play SP on large maps, and most of the time my dominion spreads ahead of my provinces.

Guilty, I am still learning the game, never played Dom 2. I was just surprised about how far it spread into the enemy territory.
