📊 Influence Points Explained
Influence Points (IP) are the primary scoring system used to track alliance performance in Season 1. The more cities and key objectives your alliance controls, the higher your Influence total — and the better your season rewards will be.
🎯 What Are Influence Points?
Influence Points represent your alliance’s total control and impact during Season 1.
They are used to:
- 📈 Rank alliances on the Season Leaderboard
- 🏆 Determine who wins the season
- 🎁 Unlock tiered end-of-season rewards
- 🔓 Grant prestige and titles to your alliance
- 📊 Influence future matchmaking in cross-server wars
🏙️ How to Earn Influence
Influence is gained primarily by capturing and holding cities. Each city gives a fixed amount of Influence — the higher the level, the more you earn.
🏙️ City-Based Influence Breakdown
| City Level | City Type | Influence Gained |
|---|---|---|
| L1 | Village | 50,000 |
| L2 | Small Town | 100,000 |
| L3 | Playground | 300,000 |
| L4 | Manor | 400,000 |
| L5 | Bell Tower | 500,000 |
| L6 | Shrine | 1,000,000 |
📌 Influence is only counted for cities your alliance owns at the end of the season.
