Alas, of the three construction types, Temples are the only one that cannot be demolished - they must be razed by invaders capturing the province...
Oh.

I can't believe I forgot to set up a blood sacrificing priest. Well, enjoy the free capitol, whoever finds it first.

Also, for the curious, my pretender:

Well, the strength boost from Blood and the quickness fro mwater would have greatly improved the damage of your sacred, but yeah ... Mictlan stays Mictlan ...

Man, is anyone else having a hell of a time finding sites? I don't know if I'm just unlucky, but my current (non-capital) gem income is just 1 astral pearl and 1 nature gem. Now, admittedly, most of those searches are only by level 1s, but I thought I read somewhere that searching with a level 1 mage would turn up most of the common sites.

That's true, but you have to remember that most provinces only have 2~3 sites divided among several different schools of magic. And you're only going to find half of them with a level 1 site searcher. So finding them can be a bit of a pain, yeah.

Oh.
We might be willing to let this go. We should be able to get pockets of dominion elsewhere, on thrones -- you can elect not to build a swarm of temples on the provinces bordering the throne to the Southeast, and we can elect not to raid your temple (albeit hopefully with more success... did you get PD from an event?)

Any further temples in R'lyeh's cap circles will not be met by pathetic slave raids. They will be met with cunning.

Me miserable! which way shall I fly
Infinite wrath, and infinite despair?
Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell;
And, in the lowest deep, a lower deep
Still threatening to devour me opens wide,
To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heaven.

Province defence, the +- value at the top, the one that adds units to defend your province. I think you had like 50 there :P

Little thing, RexMundi :
Adding 1 point of PD costs as much as the new total of PD.
1 => 1 gold
5 => 15 (total) gold
10 => 55 (total) gold
15 => 120 (total) gold
20 => 210 (total) gold
30 => 465 (total) gold
50 => 1275 (total) gold
As you can see, the cost increases quickly. And 1 point going from 30 to 31 doesn't add more than a point from 20 to 21.
I don't think I ever increased Point Defence higher than 25, other than for extreme case (special units in the province recruitment, such as minotaurs or elephants, castle ready to get sieged with mages providing nice buffs, or last expected turn for the game).

I understand that you expected to get invaded, but you lost 1k gold going from 20 to 50, when you could have kept that gold to build a castle, here (after putting from normal troops to securize the province), or somewhere else.
