I've been thinking about turf/money/influence, and I've been confused. I've been trying to figure it out and I'm hoping somebody can clue me in to what I am missing.

I took one of my turfs and starting playing with numbers.
If all of my turfs were of equal value, than this is what I came up with. (I know your actual dollars may vary, but the percentages should all be the same)

We have to pick some presets to begin with. I used 20 turfs for my comparison.
If I build to an 84 influence:
It would cost me 3.5M to build each turf to 84, for a total of 70.16M and my hourly return is $660k and a total influence of 1680.

If I build to a 64 influence:
For the same money, I can build 35 turfs to a 64 influence. I would net 945k/hour and have a total influence of 2240.

So the question that I have...And I know it must be my ignorance because I'm a noob. Why does per turf influence actually matter? At a 64, am I more susceptible to capture? Can I capture an 84 if I'm a 64 (Given the same mob)?

You're answer may be:
Well, why stop there, you can have 11,600 turfs with only Grafitti and a 5 influence for the total spend. That would return $19.5M/hour and give a total influence of over 58k.

There's just a point where it's not practical. And there probably isn't enough territory in higher paying areas to do it. (Ya, I thought about it).

At 64 you pay protection if someone has a turf covering you. 84 they have to have a union boss to collect protection. There are other things like capturing turfs and build radius that are increased at 84.

You must also consider the fact that for each level you're awarded (X) amount of turfs.

Unless you plan increasing your turf limit through don points, you should upgrade each turf to 84-inf for max income when starting out.
