I was thinking that government type of your empire affecting character generation rate might be a good idea. For example, playing as a human military dictatorship it seems kind of silly to have -20% admirals and generals, or a Mortalen diplomacy with -30% ambassadors? The race should still be the leading factor, but a modifier for government type might be nice. What do you think ?

Agree. We had this on our list as well, but it was lower priority and did not make it in. We'll revisit this in a post-release update if possible.

Regards,

Thanks Erik. ToastySandwich makes a good point here!

Addition: In my current game I had the most unfortunate luck of finding Boskarians to my left, Slukins below me and Mortelans to my right� guess who popped up towards the top of my border� Guardians! Knowing long and costly wars were inevitable for the survival of the human race, I convinced the people to accept a shift in government to military dictatorship. I sure wish a better chance of creating extra generals and admirals came with that shift!

Sounds a very good idea. Hope it makes it into a future patch.
