From what I have heard confer a step of Influence to the named faction. Correct?

So how often do they occur?, Is there a set frequency of years, do they come in a specific order? or are they randomly selected when its time to display one?

Thanks.

Some also have other consequences other than influence. The 'highest income' will give you 10% more chance to be attacked by another faction, while the 'largest military' will make it 10% less likely that other factions attack you.

Interesting; I wasn't aware of this either (although it makes sense). Where did you see that, Phil? Is it in the Beginners Guide?

I picked it up on this forum. I don't know who said it anymore, so I can't give you any references. The fact that you, both longstanding members, haven't heard of it doesn't speak well of the reference as well. So it could just be a rumour.

I haven't heard of that. I understood such messages to be purely informal. :book:
