  • The MorgawrSmall Morgawr can use Influence to take control of roaming armies due to their "Catspaw" trait and un-pacify pacified villages due to their "Seeds of Dissent" trait.

Technology[]

The only technology available to every faction that increases Influence directly without needing to build a city improvement or expansion is the United Empires Council, which provides a bonus of +100% InfluenceIcon on Cities.
