 * influence entity.
 *
 * Note that the latter property is also called the 'connected' flag in the territory manager terminology, because for tiles
 * to be reachable from a root influence entity they must in fact be mathematically connected. Hence, you should not confuse
 * the 'connected' flag with the pure mathematical concept of connectedness, because in the former it is implicitly
 * understood that the connection is to a root influence entity.
