Could you stop with the crystal clear view of things. You are entirely right. I was attempting to influence Gasp by my words. I wanted to see who would challenge me face to face (openly) rather than behind the scenes.
Side note..
Good to know others ( even Maj) think the influence system is faulty.
if ur scumbaggery got this buggy system function to get fixed. u would be a slightly less revolting person.
seriously, population numbers, population supply, and influence are all broken. there is no consumption mechanism except the party cards. even tho, maybe CDV can tell us how many crates that fleet can move in a day, relative to how many more creates i can bring INTO the game with a fertile lands card.
there are different game limitations for all of these internal shortcomings. if its Purely a financial thing. a player like rolando or larry can immediately reshape the landscape to whatever extent they desire and are willing to pay. the same can be said of other previous major national presences like wales etc.
by the look of St Martins, almost a billion fame was removed from Sgt Blue before it became a competitively available port. that must have been pages of influence cards, at 10 credits each....
what does it mean if a game mechanic worked into every aspect of the game is Purely driven by financial concerns....
seriously... it makes influence gain a Grind experience instead of a Quest experience.
