A newbie question

The number of holy units you can buy is dependent on your dominion strength if you have enough gold and resources, iirc.

The Gode is a commander. You can only make one commander each turn.

To clarify: one commander per province per turn.

yes thanks to all for so many quick answers, I was just reading the D1 manual and saw that I could only recruit one commander per province and per turn, and that the Jotun Gode is actually a commander!
And, to the other part of my question???
Maybe I was not clear enough: just want to know what expreienced players think of micromanagement, and how they do it; for instance, it doesn't seem easy to keep track of all your units and what they are doing...as I have said, I only have a handful of units for the moment, but I remember that during a turn, I forgot to move one of my scout...
so any tips are greatly appreciated!!!

Use shortcut key 'n' to scroll inactive commanders, it helps. Also, F1 (overview) screen cuts micro a lot. Developing a habit of doing things (first, move scouts, then, mage forging, finally something else) in some order is something I've found comforting - until you notice you've done turns without actually thinking about it. That's the scary part.

lilu, dunno if this is what you are doing but a big hurdle for me (in terms of MicroManagement) when I first started playing was that I built units in *every* province, *every* turn. By doing this I thought I was "maximizing production" or something. But the truth of the matter is that you should be building almost exclusively from your forts. National troops are superior to indy troops (those available in conquered independent provinces) in almost every case. There are of course exceptions to this, most notably that some indy mages will give you access to magic paths, but in general it holds.

Makes sense. It's also listed on page 23 of the manual, section 9.6, fifth sentence. What's not clear is whether the phrase "Dominion strength of the Pretender God" refers to starting or current (ie: boosted by temples) dominion strength.

He must have very low dominion in the province he's trying to recruit in. I've never had this problem myself, as I'm always very diligent about pushing my dominion.
