Ok. I wanna know: is ''Influence'' the same thing than Cultural power? Does a high influence (with Embassies or influence starbase) make other world swing into your camp? Does the influence starbase boost your influence in only planets within its range, or if I boost the influence of my core worlds, there will be a chain reaction (like there was in GalCiv1?) helping to expand all my borders?
And when I buy ''influence'' to other civs, does that mean that my borders will get a littler bigger? or is it something else?
There was 2 things in Galciv 1: Star Influence (used for UP votes) and Cultural Power. What now?
