A simpler system with less factions will make the next war more predictable. Exioce isn't it.
That doesn't make sense, it has been stated before that a faction in conflict can only take influence from the faction it is fighting, the statement that the three other factions made greater gains can not therefore be true, only 2 of the 4 could gain because the other two would have to lose. Also MB stated before that the influence change is between the two warring factions, this seems to indicate that a faction from a completely different war can take your influence, how exactly? Further the statement would imply that the faction that was loosing the other war was somehow able to still gain influence, again how exactly?
Sorry, calling BS on this!
Edit: and given that I see FD have killed the bug report when people started questioning the logic of the answer, I'm even more convinced that it is utter bollocks.
