The Influence Score System!
Hey Guys! I bet ya'll are all wondering, 'How can I expand my empire?' And Im here to tell you how! With system, war is no longer 'Annilate everything and become op'. Now were adding a new resource to the mix that may just be more valueable then gems or gold!
Influence
Influence are a new resource that stays mostly constant with any empire. No matter how big or small you are, these points will not be unrare or something you can trade off. These points are not like normal resourves, and cannot be traded for other things. These points are used in declaration of war, and ive expansion.
Each empire will start with a income of +6 Region points, with no starting base amount at the beginning of a empire. Each Region you own will decrease the amount of influence you make by 1. This includes your starting regions

Printing presses may alls be known as as Grand Manors, or Great Huts for more medival and tribal factions.
