Influence

Provinces and Estates can exert Influence on the development of Pawtato Land

Representing Land

All Estates and Provinces have a trait called Influence, which starts at 0 when establishing said lands.

Every Architect or Hero can only represent one staked Estate or Province at a time. Any influence rewarded will always affect the currently represented Land. Changing the represented Land is possible anytime.

Influence Perks

Influence will play an important part in shaping the development of the game while also unlocking certain in-game benefits for the respective Estate, Province and even the Architect him/herself. Influence also counts towards the Pawtato Land Owner Leaderboard.

Each Estate or Province has its own Influence, simple Land Plots cannot accrue Influence.

The Architects’ Influence is the combined value of the Influence of all staked Estates and Provinces in the wallet.

Example benefits of higher Influence:

• Influence decides the Area of Effect certain Buildings on an Estate or Province have, e.g.

  • Buildings which buff Heroes as long as they are within a certain perimeter around the Estate or Province

  • Buildings which extract Resources from nearby Points of Interest

• Influence increases the likelyhood of Quests spawning on the respective Estate or Province

• Estates or Provinces can spend Influence to develop nearby neutral Points of Interest (Ruins, Caves, Shrines,…) to higher levels

• Reaching certain levels of Influence will unlock special Quests for Heroes

• Reaching certain levels of Influence will unlock services in the main City of a Tribe

• Architects can spend Influence to purchase impactful soulbound Items

• Architects will be able vote with their Influence on polls regarding game development

• Architects who have a certain amount of Influence will be able to propose polls on the direction of game development

• …

Influence can be awarded for the completion of World Quests (by the Architects themselves) and Adventures (by Heroes).

There will also be events where the Influence of an Estate or Province is at risk and can decline if no or a wrong actions is taken.

Authority

Authority is a metric used for the Land Owner Leaderboard and is based on the number of Lands owned plus the Influence those Lands hold:

Authority = Land Score (Plot [1], Estate [4], Province [9]) * 100 + Influence

A higher rank on the Leaderboard will have positive effects when it comes to key milestones in the game like the Land Placement Process.
