Hello Sim;

In your DW directory, go to the 'races' directory. Find your race's text file. Using a text
editor like notepad, open the file and find this line:

CharacterRandomAppearanceChanceLeader ;1.2 <---- Change whatever this number is to 0.0

That's it! Hope this helps!

Yeah I hate having aliens freaks take over in a coup. Recently had a securan colony governor take over my Military Dictatorship in a coup. I imagined the securan witch's execution as I pushed the "dismiss" button.

Seems like my "isolationists" politics of not accepting alien races on my important worlds or in position of governors is actually quite a wise thing to do.

I also got a Dinosaur Troop Leader even though I'm Human.

I guess it's cos they have emigrated to my planets!

Yeah I don't mind generals and such, but be wary of the Governors the most I think. Not sure, but seems like having a colony governor on your Homeplanet increases likelihood of having them try to coup the govt.

Status: offline 		Actually Sim, as I mentioned in another thread, it would be better to make the
number 0.1 instead of 0.0. Reason being, in case some natural disaster befalls
the colony and the Leader gets killed. having it set at 0.1 should guarantee
that you get a replacement Leader where you might not if set at 0.0!

Status: offline 		hmmm....that's an interesting situation....There is an option for dismissing characters... there should be some kind of mechanism if there is no leader at all a random colony governor is selected or a new leader is spawned.   Lol maybe their should be vice leader positions that the player gets to select from any of his other characters.
