Area Influence of Holds
As a Hold progresses in Rank, it will reach certain milestones. These milestones and their associated rewards are as follows:
Hold Rank:0-6 has a default Area Influence level of 1 (Slight) within the central Hold area. This is the default value even if there are no spirits present. The current friendly Magnitude can be used instead if it would result in a higher level of Area Influence. In that case, the default value does not add to that level. However, if there would be levels of opposing Area Influence, this will reduce it by 1 level.
Hold Rank:7-11 has a default Area Influence level of 1 (Slight) within the Territory of the Hold. This is the default value even if there are no spirits present. The current friendly Magnitude can be used instead if it would result in a higher level of Area Influence. In that case, the default value does not add to that level. However, if there would be levels of opposing Area Influence, this will reduce it by 1 level.
Foothold Rank:12-23 has a default Area Influence level of 2 (Significant) within the Territory of the Hold. It also projects a default Area Influence level of 1 (Slight) into two Territories adjacent to the Hold Territory. These are the default values even if there are no spirits present. The current friendly Magnitude can be used instead if it would result in a higher level of Area Influence. In that case, the default value does not add to that level. However, if there would be levels of opposing Area Influence, this will reduce it by the number of default levels.
Stronghold Rank:24-39 has a default Area Influence level of 3 (Substantial) within the Territory of the Hold. It also projects a default Area Influence level of 1 (Slight) into all Territories adjacent to the Hold Territory. These are the default values even if there are no spirits present. The current friendly Magnitude can be used instead if it would result in a higher level of Area Influence. In that case, the default value does not add to that level. However, if there would be levels of opposing Area Influence, this will reduce it by the number of default levels.
Kingdom Rank:40-49 has a default Area Influence level of 5 (Great) within the Territory of the Hold. It also projects a default Area Influence level of 2 (Significant) into all Territories adjacent to the Hold Territory and 1 (Slight) into all other Territories covered by the Hold. These are the default values even if there are no spirits present. The current friendly Magnitude can be used instead if it would result in a higher level of Area Influence. In that case, the default value does not add to that level. However, if there would be levels of opposing Area Influence, this will reduce it by the number of default levels.
