Influence Score
With the City Economic Simulation DLC enabled, an Influence Score appears in the score report. It measures your standing not just as a businessman but as a political figure.
What makes up the score
Three components combine into it.
Wealth & Business Score
Taken from the Wealth & Business Score report.
Current political influence
For each city where you, or a member of your party, is mayor, influence is determined by three things:
- the city’s population
- its GDP per capita
- the mayor’s approval rating
As party leader you also collect 50% of each party member’s influence on top of your own — so building a party of mayors pays you twice.
Past political influence
Calculated the same way, but from the accumulated total of all your past influence, multiplied by 50%. Influence you once held keeps counting at half weight.
The 100 Most Influential People
A high enough Influence Score earns you a place on the 100 Most Influential People chart. For some players, getting there is the whole point of the game.
