I am having real problems with spheres of influence and system conversion since the update.

The first couple of games I thought it was just that I had not focused enough on influence but in my latest one playing the Lumeris against the United Empire I have built all the influence buildings I can, put planetary focus on the spin project for nealry all my planets and tried to beef up my border systems with influence empowering heroes but to no avail.

No matter what I do the UE influence swamps my systems despite me apparently producing far more than they do. On top of this when I capture the border systems of the UE their influence is still converting my border systems while they are being acculturated. Surely a recently conquered system should not be able to influence one of their enemies systems to change side, should they?

Please can someone tell me what I am doing wrong as this seems a bit wonky at the moment?

Cheers,

Influence values are a bit wonky at the moment. They'll be toned in an upcoming update. There are many threads on the same subject, along with a few Ideas posted.

Here is one: https://www.games2gether.com/endless-space-2/forum/66-game-design/thread/22231-influence-border-growth-too-fast

I can also add that i made a custom "mod" to tone it done, you are welcome to test it and tell me what you think about it (you can find it in the topic linked by Mister Frogsquadron or here : https://www.games2gether.com/endless-space-2/forum/75-modding/thread/21672-pejman-s-edited-xml-files )

^^

Thanks Frogsquadron and Penjam,

I am glad this is on the list to be fixed, in the meantime I will give Penjam's mod a bash as the influence problem was really putting me off from playing.

Cheers,
