Standard influence pressure interface

Here is another example, let say I want to place political pressure or restriction on a player.

In twilight imperium, you can vote laws that will either change some rules for the rest of the game or perform an instant effect if the law does no pass. If you look at that mechanic from an higher point of view, passing a law allows you to put pressure on a group of players, some will be affected more than others by the law and some people might be willing so sacrifice the self and vote for the law in order to hinder a certain player.

So the only thing I want the player to think about is, do you want to put pressure on this group of people or not. Not even sure if voting would be required.

Or another example, I cast a plague spell on your city which would dramatically hinder your production. Or I blockade you planets or cities with some fleets, etc.

So the idea is to have a mechanic where all the methods above use the same common mechanic and only consider the high level aspect of it. So putting political pressure works the same as economical pressure which could allow you to combine booth to get the pressure you want. Each type of influence could have a little variation of it's own for example:

Political pressure target a groups of players, not 1 player in particular.
Economical pressure on another player will still hinder a bit your economy.
etc.

So do you have any idea of how this system could be implemented?

Just a random idea, while the progress of the game you gain assets of various sort which could be represented on cards. Maybe You can use these assets to disable the assets of other players. Miltary conquest and other events could make you lose or gain assets. (Ex: being president of the assembly gives you an asset). Maybe these assets are actually action cards you can use in a turn.

So this is my idea so far.

Here is my 2nd set of ideas:

Each aspect is evaluated on 2 levels: Quantity and quality.
For example: military: quantity = nb of armies, quality = types of troop and technology.

Quantity is recorded with tokens on your sheet (ex: 5 generic tokens in military) and quality is determined by combining various powerups (ex: magic and technology)

On each phase of the turn, you can use a specific aspect. Ex: everybody now use economics, or military at the same time.

Now up to this point, I have 2 different methods:

Method 1: You can do as many action as you want by spending tokens. For example, you could do 2 military action and assign 3 token to an action and 2 token to another action. The number of tokens you flush could equal to the number of dices you roll. You move your tokens on the sheet to indicate how many you have used.

The problem with this mechanic is that there is a lot of token movement to do on your sheet. An alternative could be that you pick up dice you need, roll them and flush them as you use them.

Method 2: For each token in a category, you draw a card. You do as many actions as you want and you spend cards to perform these actions. Unused cards are kept for the next phase and the phase are ordered in an way that makes sense. For example, unused political cards can be used for economic purpose, unused intelligence cards can be used for military purpose, etc. Maybe only half the cards are kept.

What do you think?
