Whenever culture crosses a gravity well its spread rate is cut in half. 3, thus the allegiance continues to drop at B.Īnd eventually the situation will become: If you are advent and have upgraded your culture to 1.3 spread rate and your TEC or Vasari opponent hasn't upgraded their culture at all your culture will still push towards your opponent at a rate of. However, if an opponent builds a culture center at Planet B eventually cultures collide. The rate of change gradually increases from 0 to. + represents your culture's influence along the phase lane.Īllegiance at planet B immediately starts shifting in your favor. Either way, this is so minute it doesn't really matter.īuilding a culture production center will start passing culture down the phase lane at a rate of 1 per tick. 7% is due to a variety of unknown factors, but may have something to do with the strength of the culture affecting the planet. When allegiance is affected by culture, the rate of allegiance change slowly climbs to. People will sometimes say "Culture Strength." They mean the same thing, don't be confused.


This is the rate at which cultures move down the phase lanes, and the primary way in which opposing cultures compete. Advent can research the "Allure" ability which allows a planets allegiance to rise 20 points above its Base value when in friendly culture. When the allegiance hits zero the planet will become neutral, unless it is an empire's capital. When a planet is affected by enemy culture, the allegiance will slowly begin to fall. Allegiance can rise to 10 points above its default value (determined by the number of jumps from Homeworld). When a planet is affected by friendly culture, the allegiance slowly begins to rise. (Allure is a late game Advent research that raises the max allegiance of planets)

The allegiance of planets drops off very quickly based on how many jumps the planet is from your homeworld. So a planet with 50% allegiance is only returning 50% of its harvest to you. Allegiance is a percentage modifier of all the income rates of that planet (credits, metal, crystal). You can hover over the value to get details on the allegiance of the planet. When the planet is selected, this value is displayed on the main HUD in a panel to the left of the planet portrait. Each planet has an allegiance value, represented as a percentage.
