How to raise influence, population and "invade"?

Postby New Goldman » Mon Jul 27, 2020 9:19 pm

The title says it all. How can I raise my influence? My population? And how can I actually "Conquer" stuff?

You gain an amount of influence equal to your Endorsements + 1 twice per day. (so for you, 18 per day) The fastest way to increase Influence is to gather heaps of endorsements.

Population increases by set amounts every day. Nothing you can do will change this - to increase population, all you have to do is wait.

"Invading" happens on a regional level. You can't invade nations, nor will that ever be part of the game. To "invade" a region, what happens is someone (and a bunch of their friends) move into another region, and all endorse each other. This causes them to be elected as the Delegate of that region, which often gives them full control over the region that they've just "invaded".

What do you mean by "set amounts" of population?

Population increases by roughly 5-7 million per day (specifically, at the major update, which occurs over about 2 hours starting from 12 am US eastern time every day). This amount is fixed by the game for all nations, and no player action can affect it in any way.
