Overlords - Game Thread. (playing)

[Baalz]

2 questions about the game rules, to which the answer is no according to the literal rules but maybe not in the spirit of the rules

1) Can provinces which a random indie attack took from an overlord be taken back without consideration of dominion restrictions? Most overlords can pretty much keep their dominion covering their territories, but I'm pretty spread out and with (almost?) everyone pushing a strong dominion it's pretty much impossible for me to keep my dominion in skinny water along most of the edges, and at this point it's asking a lot for my pretender to be relegated to indie squishing.

2) Can voluntary province trades be done without consideration of dominion restrictions?

On a side note, I'm guessing I'm not gonna get much sympathy WRT a R'yleh nerf, but no bloodstones is a pretty nasty for a nation with E1 mages and no feet.
