Influence Power 500,720,556,553,500 Ranked 1

it went up 200-400 in rank in a matter of 2 minutes...all i did was upgrade my realm enhancements to a certain level in one go from 800 each to X amount (farmed and spied a dude too lol)...how does with particular stat work and why did it shoot up that fast expecially since ive no majorly powerful stat??

Never tought id see a rank 1 on my ascended account :P :-D :smt060

I am almost certain it measures your capability to draw followers.
Another possibility is that it increases with the size of your sphere of influence.

Ponder on the changes you've done before it dropped so low, and you shall find your answer.

The base is your planet count and it increases when you enhance your account or cause influence on the server in another way, EG massing or sabbing someone


Thats my opinion

I do know for a fact that it is related in some way to cosmic expansion rate and planet count. The influence, good or bad upon others, may be an explanation since you say it suddenly risen to rank 1 when you attacked someone, but then dropped.

I think the question has been answered. Influence power is what it's title describes it to be.

it fluctuate to rank 1 when you train covert or upgrade covert enhancements.

some bug there or something after the next turn change it goes back to normal :)

@ yoji its just your planet count with powerups, a bit of math involved, but it has been glitched for awhile now, if you upgrade your powerups just before turn change you get some uber stat

Well right at turn change. You always get rank 1 influence when your clicking upgrades at the time the rank updates each turn.
