Hey, thank you guys that you've started a more serious digging in the influence mechanism, I'm still a newbie and I categorised to find out the exact working of influence calculating too big for me.:) A built-in Galcivilopedia would be a great help anyway.:)
[quote]Influence production scales directly with population on a per-planet basis. (...) Votes are created based on their influence output. (...) The border is calculated by summing the influence contributions of all planets and starbases. [/quote] That was an enlightening answer, thank you very much!:)
Yepp. Thank you for the help anyway!:)
[quote who="LTjim" reply="3" id="2326983"]IOW, putting the political capital in crowded space may not increase your votes all that much, but it might well decrease the votes of the other races there, making the true delta larger than might be expected. [/quote] Basically you solved my problem with this answer (Why didn't I think about that? [e digicons]:)[/e] ) but still... (and this will be nit-picking [e digicons]:grin:[/e] ) I didnt draw the situation clearly before.
Yes, I understand what you are saying, the best way to use a cultural capital is to push back the influence of the others by putting it in a crowded position. My question is a little theoritical in this way but it is still that kinda: If I simply want to raise my number of votes in the Council what would be the better choise for the capital: the center or the borderline of the map (that way I'd get a half-circle) or is it the same? As you said the center position would be better becau
Ok, I've gone over a lot of topics, but one question about the influence is still not clear to me, and that is: Does the influence border affect the influence or reverse? A practical example: I have two equal planets, one in the corner of the starmap and one in the center position. What if I build a cultural capital in one of them? Will I have the same infulence growth? I noticed it so that the Influence Victory is calculated just based on the map coverage, not the entire influence. S
