Council view

Councilors are a faction's primary proxies on Earth and may also go to space to advance its interests there. Factions may initially have four councilors but certain projects allow them to expand the size of their council to six. Their primary role is to perform Missions on behalf of their faction.

Periodically, the game will enter the assignment phase, during which all factions will assign their councilors to missions. These missions will be resolved in a random sequence over the next few weeks. While some missions are automatically successful, most require a success roll. Missions can target nations, control points, habitats, and other councilors.

Factions can recruit councilors by spending Influence. Each month there is a new group of potetial recruits to choose from. You can also turn councilors from other factions to work for you.

The name and appearance of recruired councilors can be changed at any time.

Profession

Each councilor has a profession, which determines the range of their initial stats, available missions and possible traits. The Alien profession is only available to aliens.

Councilor Characteristics and Stats

Councilors have Attributes, Traits, Incomes and Orgs.

Attributes

Many of councilors' Attributes determine how good they are at Missions. The eight Attributes councilors have are:

  1. Persuasion
  2. Investigation
  3. Espionage
  4. Command
  5. Administration
  6. Science
  7. Security
  8. Loyalty

The first four are typically used in Missions – Control Nation, for example, uses Persuasion, while Assassinate Councilor uses Espionage and Assault Alien Asset uses Command.

Persuasion, Command, Administration and Science grant bonuses to your councilor’s influence, ops, money, and research incomes.

Administration also sets how many Orgs you can control. Security and Loyalty are defensive stats.

Traits

Traits are characteristics of the councilor that provide conditional bonuses to Missions, Incomes, and occasionally penalties and restrictions to the councilor’s Missions and movements. The Demagogue trait, for example, grants an Influence Income, plus bonus persuasion in nations with low education, but penalizes persuasion in high-education nations.

Orgs

Organizations, or Orgs, are essentially your councilors’ gear. These are government agencies, NGOs, criminal organizations, and private companies under a given councilor’s control. These are acquired with money, influence and rarely ops (typically for criminal cartels). They provide stat bonuses, incomes, missions, bonuses to research, and bonuses to certain priorities for nations under your control. The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory, for example, grants a bonus to faction research, a bonus to the science stat for the individual councilor, and helps your nations develop their military and spaceflight programs more quickly.

Orgs can be transferred between councilors and sometimes stolen by other factions via the Hostile Takeover mission.

Councilors gain experience from successful missions, which can be spent on improving the councilor by improving their attributes, adding missions, or adding or removing certain traits.
