This is Than Bendu my ambassador for 25 years.This silver tongue can even turn a Dhayut to be your friend with 84 diplomacy.

In my just-completed game as Securax, this woman was the only Admiral I received, and the game went to December, 2799. She was the hero of the Battle of Helu, not to mention the Great Almas Turkey Shoot.

Characters are a great feature, aren't they?

Here's another Ambassador, also a veteran of many decades of service.

Here's the evil bastard that convinced all the other Atuuks that the Way of Darkness was a good idea... Shame he's got a few bad traits.. but look at that pop growth! And I'm almost positive he'll rule for a long time under Way of Darkness.



And of course, behind every evil Atuuk there's a capable Mortalen colony governer... keep in mind that I have Bakuras Highspeed Shipyards at this planet too. I had AI research on, and research set to very Expensive, and the AI actually picked Accelerated Construction first! When I got that wonder, thought no-way... when I got this governer I thought NO WAY! Awesome!

Now can someone explain why both of my admirals in my Zenox game have become drunks? What's going on in my navy?!

It's a front! He's like King Theoden.. old and decrepit, where he was once young and virile and loved by all. Now he's got that Mortalen wormtongue...

As for your admirals, sometimes they'll become drunk after the end of a war. Maybe that did it?

The first one screams "Give me more soldiers! I like invasions with a lot of troops!", the second one is clearly not the choice for a diplomatic meetings unless you want to make sure the information gets to the press or home.

The name oft he colony he's ruling... I get the impression this may be either a (your?) home world or a highly developed former independent colony. With that propulation growth bonus, Governor Laurus Ikkuros may find more fruitful employment on a colony with room to grow, provided you still have such.

Nedrear, your Botschafter Haraz looks like the Westerwelle type , or his 'qualities' do. And how do you get a leader with -57% to energy research? Does the firgure continue dropping? If so, do you have an idea what is causing this?

It can shrink or increase though... My characters in the mod all got starting traits and skills which might get a little better or worse in game, but are pretty much defined. Those with less then 4 can get new traits though.
And no Westerwelle would be somehow be bad in diplomacy, but he does not support the BND (BundesNachrichtenDienst - Secret Service) in the country he's visiting.

Maybe he's just good at hiding that fact, he'd need to be to make a good agent. Are there good agents in BND? Probably not, so he probably would've been uncovered by now.

And the Foreign Affairs Minister Westerwelle is NOT an Ambassador. He is not present enough in a place to make constant use of networks there and supporting them. That is the job of the leader in an embassy.

I know, right? This game is so full of stories and life that sometimes i'll just put the whole thing on .25 speed and watch stuff. It reminds me of playing with action figures as a kid.

I thought my Ambassador was something... well more or less funny. Since my mod deals with realistic and mixed personalities, defying the always good AI leaders building up themselves, I will get something worse soon.

Then you can smoke your "badies" in a pipe. The worst you will see is a 20% minus in one or two traits in summary if the other boni do not apply there. All the other skills will increase in the play time though. In the end he will be another hero of the Legends world with a small wrinkle under his belly... nothing else.

To "grow" badies you would need to park all of them with all your dmeoralizing characters in one place, hoping for them to rot away. That will not happen in a normal game run.

Bottom line is that he will boost the skills of your Leader, Colony Governer, and local Troop General until the end of time.
