A few suggestions from an old-timer

I have been playing Shadow Empire since June of 2020 and I have to say that it has exceeded all expectations. It is still the “same” game, but much smoother. And I play it far more than anything else. The continuing improvements are always a cause for excitement! Based on my experiences playing the game there are a few things in particular that I would welcome.
1. On the tech tree or tooltips, a better explanation of whether or not a tech advancement has immediate and widespread effects or if it is applied only to new models created and built after the tech is researched.
2. A note or caption on each Advisor telling the office/position held by the individual to whom the advisor is assigned.
3. Make nukes (ICBMs) optional in the game set-up.
4. Make some sort of Anti-ICBM defense available (optional(?) toggle in set-up), either against the weapons themselves or something that mitigates their effect on population.
The first two things would make playing a bit smoother. As for atomics, I have had too many great epic games come crashing to an early end by strategic nukes. I’d like the option to remove that from hanging over my head or to mitigate them.
