Well that could be true but, because if i recall correctly there was a message about loosing influence with battanian lords. And i think it is weird for having conspiracy caravan be the cause of you needing to go to war with other factions. But the confusing thing is that it only happens with a value over hundred (only assuming it is 100), because when i had arround 40 or 20 it would not lead to a loose in influence. Maybe it has something to do with the need of influence to start a war.
