Influencing villages was never meant to be a quick nor easy process.
Since the last village in play took only 17 minutes to be influenced,
we've greatly revised the difficulty in influencing a village, so it
will take at least several days to manage. Thus, while getting a head
start on influencing will help, it won't decide the outcome.
