Councilor RNG

[Khipu]

I think the RNG of the Councilors is too random. It’s a complex game and most if them are just trash. It’s fine to have one weak attribute that needs to be fixed but it’s often more. Also I believe the Missions should be semi(fixed) per class. I already ran into suprises where contol soace asset cannot be used because one cannot inflitrate the space asset in the first place. It’s okay to have one missing or in the beginning useless mission but what benefit does a scientist with espionage 0 or 1 has to have steal or sabotage project. It ultimately just clutters the UI.

Orgs can grant your councilors the abilities they are lacking.

I know but Some are so defective even orgs cannot fix it.

Orgs can fix anything. Unfortunately it might take time and RNG for the right org to come around. Missing skills? There are orgs for that. Low stats? There are orgs for that too. The only thing orgs might not be able to fix are character traits like persona non grata but you have to be really special to be PNGed by more than one country lol.

What if the councilor starts with admin 0 or 1 than even an org will not fix it.

My problem is more with cluttering the UI I don’t need a sabotage mission if I the councilor just does not have the skill for it. It’s just distracting.

Adm orgs will fix that! Quite a lot that give 3-4adm.

Well you got me there! Orgs can fix bad Councilors, they can't fix player dislikes. lol. They are there to fix Councilors, not players.

It's kind of slow to start with and you usually end up with every councillor doing a specific job.
I promise you by mid 2030s your councilors start getting maxed in certain key areas (level 25) which allows you to migrate to other attributes.

Remember to use Orgs - they can be very powerful!

I agree with the OP's point.

For example: there is simply no point in having the Increase Unrest or Coup Mission on someone with 0-1 Command. It clutters up the number of buttons and just makes things look busy and unclean.

Yes. Orgs can fix most things but:

1. You need to level up Admin for that, and right now Admin being better than every other stat and the only stat you wanna level up is already a balance issue.

2. Orgs can give missions to. If I wanted my ♥♥♥♥♥♥ 1 Command Councillor to have the ability to do Coups and Increase Unrest, I'd give them an Org for that (but I won't, because I won't do dumb sub-optimal things that just clutter up the screen.)

There's a TON of RNG on orgs. Having a government/criminal/sociopath trait, having a counselor or cap point in a specific nation, the stats of the org, the chance of getting offered an org, being able to afford the org... and all that assumes you have a counselor with decent admin!

I just don't think this is an issue at all. A couple years into a game your councilors will be unrecognizable they will have so much attached.
