What is influence according to your views?

Hmm if I recall it goes something like...

Influence is the main system of determining how a City-State feels towards you or a civilization. Influence is determined in many ways. Hostility, such as demanding tribute, passing within the City-State's borders without permission, or declaring war on them, will lose you influence points. However, kindness, such as gifting units or gold to City-States, completing missions they make, or planting spies in their city, will end up in you gaining influence points. There are five stances a civilization can have with a City-State (in order from worst to best): Permanent War, Angry, Neutral, Friends, or Allies. There is also the status "Afraid", introduced in Gods & Kings.

influence is to influence others to do your bidding

 

[Gismo359]

Influence = Change, where the cause(influencer) and the affected(influenced) are emphasised, rather than the action itself. Although, I mostly connect influence with permanent/long term changes. Thats what I think of it.

In according to the calculations of my brain, Influence is the capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behavior of someone or something, or the effect itself.

In a short term, influence is a word.
