I thought it would be good to gather all the bits and pieces of info in regards to Influence in one single place. Setting the Influence straight once and for all so to speak. Influence is hardcoded and thus this is relevant to all versions of MTW, regardless of which it might be. What is apparent is the fact that I personally know very little about the exact values and formulas, exact what to do to gain or loose influence etc. I have never had any problems with it but I thought it might be useful to know about (perhaps others are interested in this as well). Now my plan is that we all try to be short and concise and above all go heavy on the exact numbers and formulas for it. Much in the great tradition of the MTW numerology kind of thing. I’ll start with the only influence-thing I am completely sure of:


1 successful crusade = +1 influence, +1 Piety
1 successful jihad = +1 influence, +1 Piety

What else do we have?
