Default Re: Computer Enemy Dominion Spread Is So FAST!

RE Overdrive

I can't say with any certainty the derivation of the idiom, but my theory is based on the fact that most people have no idea how a car (or anything else) actually works, and the actual intricacies of the overdrive gear was a mystery wrapped in an enigma. But everyone knew that if you were going fast that you wanted to be in "overdrive", thus the term became synonymous with high speed. Any additional factors, such as acceleration, were complications beyond most people.

As for the original inquiry from Apples, I suspect you made the same mistake I did in my first couple of games. You either didn't want to waste points on dominion or because the candles for dominion are located in the upper left on the scales chart you didn't even realize that they were available to be modified.
