How exactly does this mechanic work?

That's what I wonder, but I don't know and hadn't asked those, I guess you could report or post on offical post on ubisoft anno 1800 forum and see what answer.

The church has sorta an influence circle around it and the effect gradually fades at the outer rim right? I think it means this sets the household requirement ceiling lower as stated which effectively extends the reach of the church.

Is that mean church reach longer on map if it used? I don't see any because it's already green full bar on church needs. There is already item that make church reach longer, in turn more house will get full green futher.

Hello,
It was just an item totally useless with a lot of others when the first game came out ..
Simply cos there is a dice game to try to obtein the most usefull item and more you are playing more you loose money ..
this system will begin obsolete with the expeditions and the world 'fair rewards too with "Land of lions"and the reseach system ..
Anyway you may used it if you are playing the game with "role-play" ^^

Yes, I guess some item do need rework. But I don't know they will plan to do that or not.

That's kind of what I was thinking too. It all seems so nonsensical. Like, I'd rather just build a second church than a Town Hall and spend Influence Points. Plus the -3 Happiness just kind makes it seem like Wuik is right. This is probably just a junk piece that just got lost under the radar.

Think I will post on the official forums along with the pic. I really want to know what an official Ubisoft rep thinks about it.

All public buildings have two internal parameters to them. The area where they affect homes at 100% and the area where they effect homes at zero (outer edge).
A home in the zone in between (usually a lighter duller green road) is the consumption range where the home will show less than 100% of that public building is being consumed. The affect the item has to "consume les church" means the home with less than 100% church influence will be seen as 100% since it doesnt need X amount of church influence to be considered 100%.

Hope that helps.

It could indeed be the reason. I might just be overthinking this. It just seems...kind of a waste, you know? Not everyone within the sphere of influence of the Town Hall will benefit from it equally. Some will still be short, and/or some didn't need it in the first place.

Also, if I have to spend 20 Influence Points to build a Town Hall to use this to help with Church/Chapel reach, I would rather just build another Church.

But, again, not every item has to make sense, I guess.
