The current implementation of the influence system as a faction-specific currency that's supposed to represent a clan's political capital feels unsatisfactory to many people including me. Barring it's complete removal (something I wouldn't necessarily oppose, it's just for discussion's sake), what changes would you like to see to the influence system?
For me, I would like see that the total influence of a faction become finite, with the total sum of influence increasing or decreasing as the number of fiefs and prosperity increases/decreases. We should then become able to "buy" influence from clan leaders through bartering and get influence from completing quests (where village notables give small amounts, and lords give large amounts). We should also be able to use influence for more things in general; we should be able to also invest influence in towns, castles and villages for boost to their construction (villages should therefore also have some building options) and we should be able to use a very large amount of influence to force the king to abdicate or for us to secede from the kingdom and keep our holdings without being declared war, etc.
What would you like to see happen to the influence system (barring it's removal, cause that would be a whole other subject)?
