Every battle takes place in the vicinity of a port.
In case the owner of the fleet which lost, has more than 50k influence to this port, then an extra reward is triggered for the winner: Influence Loot
Influence Loot = (Losing Fleet Total Guns * 10 ) - Losing Fleet Installed Total Guns
Extras:
-----------------------------------------------
If both contestants are in the same nation, Influence Loot is not triggered.
If the loser is an enemy of the State, Influence Loot is doubled.
If the the two fleets belong to two different nations which are at War with each other, influence Loot is doubled.
-----------------------------------------------
In skirmishes, Influence Loot is halved. (Last rule to apply to all the above).
