I was wondering if anyone out there could give me a list of what types of ego battles work on what type of denizens, as well as any useful info you can impart. Thanks!

There are five different types of influencing (excluding village
influencing), all of which have different results for success. For
each type of influencing, there are three influence skills. All of
the skills have the same strength, but the more one uses an influence
skill, the higher the denizen's resistance to it. So, always switch
between your available skills for a certain kind of influencing for
maximum effectiveness.

CHARITY - Get gold or items that denizen would drop if killed.
WEAKEN - Lower denizen's level.
EMPOWER - Raise denizen's level.
PARANOIA - Prevents denizen from participating in quests.
SEDUCTION - Causes denizen to attack those on your ENEMIES list.

Denizens have mindsets that effect what influence style they are weak
against and which they are immune to. ANALYZE the denizen to see.

FRIENDLY - Easily influenced with Charity, immune to Paranoia
GREEDY - Easily influenced with Weaken, immune to Charity
BRAVE - Easily influenced with Empower, immune to Weaken
SENSUOUS - Easily influenced with Seduction, immune to Empower
INTIMIDATING - Easily influenced with Paranoia, immune to Seduction

Winning an influence fight gives as much experience as killing the
denizen does. Influence, then kill for double experience gain.

Losing an influence fight causes about double the experience loss of
dying and then reviving through vitae.

Losing a debate gives the shattered ego affliction, which lasts ten
minutes and is cured by nothing, not even dying. The shattered ego
affliction prevents one from influencing, diverting, or debating
others, but not from analyzing, campaigning (sancturary/crusade), or
chanting. Healers can use SUCCOR to tell at range if an enemy is
shattered during village influencing.

Villages in revolt, and only villages in revolt, can be swayed using
the city/commune swaying skills. These are learned at CR2, CR4, and
CR6, and are not based off one's influence skill.

Divert costs 50% of one's maximum ego and allows the denizen to be
influenced by someone new. It also restores a portion of the
denizen's ego, though not all of it. The author of this scroll does
not yet know the ramifications of this change during village revolts.

Parley and Amnesty are done with the leader of the organization. You do
not have to be able to influence the denizen to parley with them,
meaning you can unenemy yourself to Paavik or Landantine through
PARLEY even if you cannot influence the undead. Parley requires a LOT
of gold - in the 75,000 to 150,000 range. Amnesty is difficult since
it is the only skill of its kind. Amnesty gives a 1-10 month reprieve
based on chance and the skill of the influencer. If a 10 month
reprieve would be given, a full pardon (permanent) is given instead.

I have only up to Wheedling in Influencing and I don't need bromides to beat Cookies. However I do have Laetitia which I use to recover quickly from the influence battle, I also only have 16 charisma fully buffed. But if you buy the neverending bromide vial that won't be a problem!

Also most people seem to think that one can only get to Aetherbubbles by ship and are stuck there unless they fly back...thats quite untrue.

could someone with trans influence post a list of the skills?

Just as a side note a couple days after I posted this, Crumkindivia was renderd useless.

Anyone have a list of the best influencing places? Figured I might try my hand at it, mostly to annoy Minerva and steal all her business. Also, suggestions are nice. I have a cameo, a throne, gold to buy things, trans influence and dramatics.

Also, I'd imagine various Aetherbubbles would be good, like Cankermoore, if you could get a raven cloak. (since I assume that the soldiers are actual denizens).

I don't think you can influence them... they aren't single soldiers, but troops of 10, and only appear during the quest, and there are only four of them.

Crumkindivia is no longer awesome. Still not bad but its not really worth the fly there and back since you can just go to Tosha.
