This change would mean that any influence gained within feeder and sinker regions is capped at six months. Currently, when a nation gains influence within a region, so long as it remains within that region and doesn't spend it using regional controls, that influence will remain with it indefinitely. Influence gained over six months ago would therefore be "lost".
The intention of this change is to:
- Make influence in game-created regions more accurately reflect the recent state of the region.
- Increase the power of those that are currently engaged with the region relative to those that previously were but are no longer.
- Make changes of direction, including through coups, easier to implement.
- Ensure that communities can still be maintained within these regions
While this change could theoretically be applied to player-created regions too at some point in the future, that is not on the agenda at the moment - so please don't discuss it here.
The following aspects in particular need further discussion:
- The length of time that influence is retained - whether six months is an appropriate figure.
Discussion in this thread is open to everyone. Please use this thread for discussion of this change only - off-topic posts, regional bickering and so on will be dealt with swiftly and punished for as necessary.
