Do Pilgrims actually do anything?

Trying to win influence victory is hard...

June 21, 2017 5:41:31 PM from Galactic Civilizations III ForumsGalactic Civilizations III Forums

So playing Bene  max influence....

I am in no wars and have a large enough military that no one wants to fight me.  so rather than building ships of war, I've been Building Pilgrims.


When the Pilgrim event finishes it says +100 influence     yet  my influence per world seems to be identical before and after.       I did the math and one of my worlds had only the standard "influence growth"  over 10 turns during which 6 Pilgrim events finished.

Sooooo....  where is my influence going?   is it only going to the world that is sending the pilgrims?     or what?

It doesn't work.  The Generate Propaganda planet project doesn't work either.  The influence seems to go into the "ether" rather than the planet.  I wonder if they were planning to make influence a global commodity that could be traded like previous GalCivs. <shrugs>

I was wondering the same thing.  Influence improvements typically used to be some flat increase to a planet's influence plus a percentage increase to the generated influence per turn.  With Crusade, the flat increase was largely discarded, and only the percentage increase counted.  I think the Pilgrims fell into the cracks there.

ah... well that's disappointing.

I'm convinced that with the changes to the game an influence victory is next to impossible on larger maps....

well this sounds like a bug. The influence was changed in the base game. An influence victory on excessive, and bigger would not be possible unless you only had a few civs.

The same problem exists with Mercenaries giving flat influence bonuses. I haven't checked inn 2.3 yet, but your observations indicate that the problem is still there.

Yeah not sure where the pilgrim influence goes, would be nice if this was made clearer.
