All of my leaders are attempting to improve only one skill category. Each leader has chosen a different, single skill to focus exclusively on. For example, Nicola (figure below) is working doggedly on being an Inventor, for about 30 turns now. As a consequence, none of my leaders are improving their suitability in their assigned jobs.

I am using the latest beta v1.06b15, but we built the scenario on v1.05b12.
It is a four-human multiplayer game.

Well, she is applied science director. Did you by chance put priorities to 100% vs 0% discovery: research?

I advise on never putting any priority to 0% as then they will not roll on that skill and never train it.

Im in the same game as Mark and seeing the same thing. Problem is they literally do just train the same skill. I have one guy moved from OHQ Cmdr to Applied Sciences and the love of his life seems to be "Resist Influence". So form what I can see it may be related to their first job but then stays static regardless of where they are moved to...

Resist Influence seems to be quite a popular choice....perhaps its the fav skill for OHQ cmds....

I'm seeing weird things with skills as well, leaders not leveling up the skills they actually use.

Hi there,

I am not disagreeing here.

I am reducing XP spending on Resist Influence, Endurance and some other skills in the next Open Beta version.

Best wishes,
Vic

Well, I appointed her as the applied science council director (round 28) because she refused to learn anything else, not the other way around [;)]. Once I recognized what was happening, I reassigned a bunch of leaders as best I could to minimize the effect.

If I understand you correctly Vic, reducing XP spending on certain skills doesn't address this issue but another sort-of related issue, right? Do you need more info (a game-save?) to help zero in on this issue?

I was looking a some other leaders. I cant be certain but it seems skill progression was a lot more dynamic earlier in the game....So Im guessing it became more fixed at some point with an update....
