Default Re: Dominion Spread? Manual p. 94

After reading that chapter, I also have more questions. Here are some:
1. I am also somewhat confused as to how dominion spreads outward from an already "saturated" nation.
The analogy to a liquid is quite helpful in understanding its behavior. When one "container" (province) is "full", it "spills over" into an adjacent one. If that province is "full", it continues to "overflow" until it reaches a province that isn't "full", which is how it ends up "far away" from the temple where it was "poured" into the network of "containers".

Raising your Maximum Dominion makes all of the "containers" "bigger", and enemy Dominion spread slowly empties your "containers".
