Question about an adviser

[Gregorovitch]

I've just created the Economic Council. I have this dude, who is really good, very clever, CAP III etc, looks perfect to lead this so I want to appoint him. I can't see how to do this.

1. I can't see if this guy is actually assigned to advise somebody right now.
2. I can't see how to assign him to advise somebody (if that's what he's supposed to do)
3. I can't get him up on the list of candidates to assign as leader of the Economic Council and I don't understand why.

MNG>Leaders is where u can find and contact him.
And for the selection he of course needs to be in reserve pool.
If he doesnt show up for selection, the game thinks hes not the best option for you rn, you can select dismiss on other leaders in that screen till he comes up tho.

In the end I appointed another reasonable candidate and attached this guy to her as an adviser.

For future reference, how would I check if the character was actually in the reserve pool? I don't think he was, he was listed in the staff roster as "adviser" and there were no options for him other than fire him altogether or attach him as adviser to somebody. He didn't seem to be attached to anybody currently. Does that mean he was also in the reserve pool, and if not how would get him put into the reserve pool?

Advisors are a special job class and can't be used as council leaders, AFAIK.
Apparently this is wrong.

[Gregorovitch]

Thanks, that would explain my problem I guess.

I check REP. - Overview - Cabinet more often than MNG - leaders, as it has a better visualization than MNG - leaders. YMMV, though.

MNG - leaders is good for finding that cap IV guy you just hired as you can sort by cap there easier.

hmm, will include that in the UI guide I am working on, it seems.

This is wrong, under MNG u can call an Adviser and move them to the reserve pool.

Advisor is a job. You couldn't appoint the adviser to a council position for the same reason you can't appoint governors. Already doing a job.

Advisors are an amazingly powerful job. When the person you assign them to help makes a roll the advisor does too. Only one needs to succeed. An advisor with high oratory is very useful as its one of the most common types of roll you will make.
