Cherryh Influence
My biggest issue with Cherryh was that when you enter lategame, it becomes an even bigger waiting slogfest than pre-2.0 was. Instead of getting 4-5 planets every 10 years per empire, you are now forced to wait as your influence climbs high enough to allow you to claim 1 or 2 systems every 10 years – globally.
My first game i was sitting with larger fleet than anyone else in the galaxy, thousands of minerals and energy income, plenty of empires to conquer, and no way to put claims because influence gain was so miserably low. Even with multiple researches, i felt that it essentially turned lategame into a snoozefest, where you watch a movie for 30 minutes until you have enough influence to make some claims, go do war, then continue watching movie.
Anyways, sorry for the rant. This mod is supposed to change that.
THIS MOD ADDS A BUILDING FOR YOUR STARBASES, THAT REQUIRES MAX TIER STARBASE, AND PROVIDES 0.3 INFLUENCE INCOME.
This way the mod does not affect early game, where balancing influence is an important strategy, but does allow you to get significantly more influence for claims etc in the lategame should you desire it – for every maxed out starbase you have, you can have +0.3 influence.
This mod should be compatible with all other mods.
And yes, this is a placeholder icon 😛
