RE: Tjudy, Overdrive

Language is hardly logical, but here's my guess on the overdrive thingamajig. Now, it goes without saying Im neither a linguistic or automotive expert, but this is the internet, so I'm saying it anyways.

Overdrive was like the last gear in transmission, and offered some improved fuel efficiency by Lowering the RPMs. But it could only be reached at 45 mph. So...

I guess that putting early expansion into overdrive does not refer to the acceleration, per se, but getting your expansion going fast enough it becomes efficient? Or rather, going fast enough you can coast along on less effort?

Hmm... also, stationing a prophet strategically within your borders can also help push your dominion in the right directions. If you have a very high dominion score, then make sure to designate a prophet ASAP. Your pretender generates two temple checks, your prophet... I'm not certain. But if you start with an awake pretender and get a prophet, then counting your starting temple your dominion will spread four times as fast as a start with only the temple.
