I've updated again with a new version up. Version x9.12dev contains primarily changes to terrain, detailed in the CD and TI readmes.
Influence balance is something I've been working on from time to time. I've never really been happy with the -10% or so effect 3/3 had. Keep in mind these dev versions are just my current stuff dropped into a zip file, so it's not always going to be working properly.
The two variables are in the diplomacy mod's BD - General.xml file, halfway down. If you could, please test them at various combinations like 3/3, 10/9, and 5/4, and tell me how that impacts your current game. My game's at turn 300 and influence is still alright, so it sounds like you're in a later era.
Will do. But I was at around 500 AD when I stopped - nowhere near turn 300. Also, the influence purchase decreased as the game went along. I didn't notice the decrease at first, because it wasn't as severe as 0-5 influence.
