Influence is a game designed for those who appreciate the emergent gameplay and thriving economy found in Eve Online, crave the strategic depth of Stellaris, and are awed by the sense of scale inherent to the X-Series. It's tailored for players who seek to not only immerse themselves in a vast universe but also to actively shape its destiny. The question at its core: How will you extend your reach and make your mark?
Progress in Influence is a long-term investment. Instant gratification isn't on the agenda here; instead, players are rewarded with a sense of achievement that comes from seeing their efforts accumulate over time. Constructing buildings, for instance, is a gradual process, requiring substantial time, effort, and energy - unless you're purchasing all the necessary goods from player-controlled marketplaces.
Influence offers a rich trove of hundreds of items to refine, manufacture, and mine. These items come to life through the use of various production facilities and a multitude of intermediary processes. It's a game that rewards the persistent, the active, and the patient. Influence isn't a game measured in mere minutes or hours. It's a grand adventure that unfolds over the course of years.
