You are the supreme ruler. Picture yourself as an armchair general behind a desk. Or a man in the shadows on a fancy chair, with a cat on your shoulder.
You rule by giving orders to your Leaders. Some are unseen (like the leader of non-HQ Units) but the important Leaders have a name, a portrait, statistics and a personality. And most importantly a Relation Score.
The key jobs that you’ll give to your Leaders are Director (for Councils), Governor (for Zones) and Commander (for Hqs).
No matter what Job one of your Leaders’ is doing, he/she will do his/her job better if your relation with that Leader is good.
Leaders
When you start a new game it is a good idea to inspect what the roll of the dice gave you. Take a look at your Leaders and Factions to orient yourself on your human resources.
In the Personnel Overview report we get a quick overview of the Leaders we start out with.
First thing to note here is the Capacity Level (CAP) which gives a quick indicator how able a Leader is (or can become). But after that you should look at their Ratings. They have 3 ratings: Technical Rating (TR), Command Rating (CR) and Interpersonal Rating (IPR).
It is a good idea to determine if they are assigned to Jobs that suit them well. You’ll start with a Zone Governor, a Council Director and a SHQ Commander.
Your Zone Governor ideally has good TR and IPR.
Your Council Director only needs a high TR as he’s not out there with his feet in the mud (and your populace).
Your Commanders should have a good CR, especially your SHQ Commanders.
If I check my list all seems fine. Marlow Davis at SHQ has a CR of 62. Bella Clarke, governor of Epsilon has a TR of 36 and an IPR of 48. Finally, Ian Copernicus, Director of the Supreme Command Council, which takes care of almost everything at the start, has a reasonable TR with 34.
Ideally you’ll assign the most suitable Leader to each job. However, keep in mind that firing Leaders to make place for a new appointee can cause problems. Especially if the Leader you are firing has a high seniority rank.
Advisors
However, I have noted that our Advisor Aries Bulkhead just has a really high IPR.
