So... I ended up spending last night trying to recruit a few Freelances into San d'Orias ranks. When I had a friend check the influence of the 6 Freelances by speaking with Maruna-Kurina, before heading off to bed, they were indeed headed to San d'Oria for this tally.

Only I get on today to find that only 2 of them had made it? Is there no way to get more accurate information for this? Would it be possible to post indetail information on this matter, please?

Is there an influencing cap?

Does influence decay over a set time?

How potent is the influence decay if so?

Can we just get rid of this recruiting system altogether and make the Freelances just assist all 3 nations with campaign battles?
