Hello everyone!



Question: What are the factors in calculating the cost of converting a minor faction as the cultists?



I have noticed a few things. The first conversion (typically in one's own territory) costs 40 influence.

The second usually costs 80, which would lead me to believe that it doubles every time. This is false.



I know that the number of previously converted villages of that specific minor faction is part of the calculation, but I am wondering if there is also a dependence on the territory, who owns that territory, diplomatic relationships with the owner, the era, ect.



Does anyone know of a surefire, dependable formula for this?

I am new to the forum and realized that this may be in the wrong section. If so, how do you move a thread from one section of the forum to another?

If I'm not mistaken, it's just x*(number of converted villages + 1).

Im not sure I understand, can you elaborate please?

Yes. If your first village costs 40, then your second village costs 80, and your third village costs 120. This is modified by game speed (conversions in a fast game cost half what they do in a normal game) and whether or not the village is destroyed or fully pacified (destroyed villages cost twice as much to convert if I'm not mistaken).
