This can then lead to diplomatic demands, which don't cost Influence to use. As time goes on, faction with greater Influence pushes against the other, and eventually starts covering the weaker system - which creates more diplomatic pressure. This is positive for whoever produces more Influence in their system and negative for the other. This creates border friction, which generates diplomatic pressure. This gets more interesting when one faction's sphere of influence expands to the point where it is close to another's. RELATED: There Is a Disturbing Lack of Metroid on Switch
Additionally, if this sphere of influence covers special nodes like asteroid fields or nebulae, extra bonuses are granted empire-wide. The bigger the sphere of influence, the farther that faction can see. This is the area a faction controls, meaning external factions (outside of pirates and mercenaries) cannot attack without triggering a war, and vision is granted to the controlling faction. Every star system owned by a faction has a circle of color surrounding it this is the sphere of influence, which grows as the system produces more Influence. The biggest effect Influence has in the game is the sphere of influence that surrounds a star system. As the game progresses and interactions with other factions become inevitable, Influence becomes more and more important. Negotiations with other major factions require Influence to make, and improving relations with (and eventually assimilating) minor factions requires Influence as well. However, Influence does so much more than enact new laws it dictates how you interact with other species across the galaxy. Unless you're playing as the United Empire - which can spend Influence like currency - or have DLC that enables paying Influence to the Academy, it may seem unclear why you would ever spend time and resources researching and building Influence buildings, especially when there are more obvious priorities in the game like dust or science. Influence is primarily used for enacting new laws.

Known as FIDSI, these resources are Food, Industry, Dust, Science and Influence. Each new game expands upon the franchise's lore, but they all use the same basic mechanics, allowing players familiar with previous entries to jump in rather quickly.įrom Endless Legend to Endless Space 2, there is a set of resources that needs to be developed to make any headway in the games.
