Other than the balance concern (which would also be my primary concern), this type reward can be abused. For example, in Game of Thrones, I've seen many "attacks" designed to strengthen both players hand of house cards. The same could be done in Runewars with influence.Albeit it would be more costly to perform such an act as actions are more limited in Runewars. Your solution may prove to be viable, however I see
I haven't run into turtling as a problem, due to the limited actions available to players in this game. A 7 year game only give each player 28 actions. Not much for such an enduring game.
