Zenra -> Need advice on assigning leaders (6/9/2020 3:58:49 AM)
I am looking for help selecting the right characters for the various postings. When I get a decision to assign a character to an office, such as the round after commissioning a new council, only two candidates are offered for selection, even if three or more are available in the reserve pool. The manual explains these are selected based on faction affiliation (nice touch, BTW - realistic, so fosters immersion) and their “Suitability” rating; does anyone know how Suitability is calculated? When comparing characters using the “Compare” tab of the Leader Popup the tool-tip indicates the Suitability column shows their relative suitability for their current assignment, but in the case of unassigned characters, how would the Suitability be calculated? If I wish to appoint some other reserve pool character than either of the two offered in the Decision, what is the best way to do so? Dismiss one or both candidates And take the hit from whatever faction backs them? Wait a round (as the manual seems to suggest) and see if one more to my liking is nominated? I am really enjoying this game and want to get better at it. Das’s videos have been a great help as have so many posts here. The manual is good but the game is complex. The tool tips help (and seem to be getting better with the beta patches?) but I admit I’ve grown used to the Paradox style pop-up that spells out all (or at least many) of the calculations for me. I don’t want the game to hand me everything on a silver platter, so some advice from others’ experience on how to judge which characters are right for the various leadership positions will be appreciated.

DAS covers this in this video: SHADOW EMPIRE Tips and Tricks ~ 07 Setting up your Economic Council I'd post the link but it doesn't let me...

Seems the options during the selection stage are either spending PP and possibly offending a faction by rejecting one candidate, meaning somebody that wasn't made available is then brought forward as an option, or waiting until next turn and hoping the preferred candidate is available. The best option, however, is to employ those layabouts in other roles prior to the new council's formation. Build a OHQ first, throw whomever isn't up to snuff into that, then bask in the glory of your chosen candidate being available. For what it's worth, most leaders get better in whatever you give them, and most aren't skilled in whatever you'd like them to be skilled in initially. I basically just try not to think too hard about the leader appointments...

Well i take everyone once i start to get talent I try to send old folks with the little potential to retirement if they are in opposite ideology.

Wait a round, also the manual part about council's states what skills are preferred for each.
