Can I see how much influence I am receiving from each Rival?

[lostgrail]

New player with what I thought was a "new player" question ... but I don't see an answer anywhere: How can I tell how much influence I am gaining from each rivalry I have? I'm assuming I will have to go to each rival in the contact screen and mouse over ... something?

Thanks in advance.

The total influence from rivalries is shown in the tooltip when you hover over influence in the resource summary at the top of the screen. If you click on your own species in the Contacts screen, you can easily see your rivals. The amount of influence you gain from a rival is shown when you first declare the rivalry. But I don't know of a way to show that number for each species individually, short of cancelling the rivalry and re-establishing it.

Thank you for the response!

But influence from rivals changes over time, right? Now that my rival has gone from Superior to Inferior, I'm getting less. Or am I incorrect? I think my total influence from rivals has gone down over time. Certainly, all of my rivals are weaker relative to me than when I declared the rivalry.

Indeed, influence from rivalry change over time. I don't know the calculations behind this but it is a mix of general power and proximity (from my last game experience, a close inferior empire gave more influence than a fallen empire on the other side of the galaxy). But to really know the amount you gain, you have to un-rival then rival again and it is a bit frustrating, it should be displayable on a smal tooltip on the diplomacy screen or the Contact Panel.
