Sadly I deleted the save with my living God-Kennedy leader... I got no other vanilla character to show around right now.

Had both of these little dudes in the same game! It was with the initial Legends release, so I stopped playing after the first patch. Who knows how good they could've gotten!

Wow, I can't compete with that awesomeness. :) But I am proud of my Securan characters anyway. In my just-completed game as Securax, this woman was the only Admiral I received, and the game went to December, 2799. She was the hero of the Battle of Helu, not to mention the Great Almas Turkey Shoot.

I had a couple of Ambassadors for about 40 years each. Here's one:

Come to think of it, that last character *is* pretty awesome. The Zenoxians and I had good relations the entire game.

Characters are a great feature, aren't they?

Here's another Ambassador, also a veteran of many decades of service.

Characters are the best...

Here's the evil bastard that convinced all the other Atuuks that the Way of Darkness was a good idea... Shame he's got a few bad traits.. but look at that pop growth! And I'm almost positive he'll rule for a long time under Way of Darkness.

Image

And of course, behind every evil Atuuk there's a capable Mortalen colony governer... keep in mind that I have Bakuras Highspeed Shipyards at this planet too. I had AI research on, and research set to very Expensive, and the AI actually picked Accelerated Construction first! When I got that wonder, thought no-way... when I got this governer I thought NO WAY! Awesome!

I love how your Way of Darkness leader is a Luddite Environmentalist. Seems a little askew. [:D]

Now can someone explain why both of my admirals in my Zenox game have become drunks? What's going on in my navy?! [X(]

It's a front! He's like King Theoden.. old and decrepit, where he was once young and virile and loved by all. Now he's got that Mortalen wormtongue...

As for your admirals, sometimes they'll become drunk after the end of a war. Maybe that did it?

Hmm, haven't had any wars yet. My theory is that my Zenox empire has discovered a deposit of catnip somewhere.

When I see ehsumrell1 and his Spock, I simply felt inclined to push some mod characters... strange, strange people... of Juned to the frontline.

The first one screams "Give me more soldiers! I like invasions with a lot of troops!", the second one is clearly not the choice for a diplomatic meetings unless you want to make sure the information gets to the press or home.

The name oft he colony he's ruling... I get the impression this may be either a (your?) home world or a highly developed former independent colony. With that propulation growth bonus, Governor Laurus Ikkuros may find more fruitful employment on a colony with room to grow, provided you still have such.

Nedrear, your Botschafter Haraz looks like the Westerwelle type [:D], or his 'qualities' do. And how do you get a leader with -57% to energy research? [X(] Does the firgure continue dropping? If so, do you have an idea what is causing this?

My governor is pretty demoralizing... he can demolish it further if the leader does not decide to rule from a space station. But no actually he got a high malus to energy research by default. It can shrink or increase though... My characters in the mod all got starting traits and skills which might get a little better or worse in game, but are pretty much defined. Those with less then 4 can get new traits though.
And no Westerwelle would be somehow be bad in diplomacy, but he does not support the BND (BundesNachrichtenDienst - Secret Service) in the country he's visiting.

Maybe he's just good at hiding that fact, he'd need to be to make a good agent. Are there good agents in BND? Probably not, so he probably would've been uncovered by now.

The BND is very well known throughout the NATO. They often support America or other nations by giving them coordinates of potential targets... yes they are good spies. Thy got many ways to make people tell them what they want... I don't know which method though.
 
And the Foreign Affairs Minister Westerwelle is NOT an Ambassador. He is not present enough in a place to make constant use of networks there and supporting them. That is the job of the leader in an embassy.
