== Faction internal names ==

Factions have the following internal names:
{| class="wikitable"
! Faction
! Internal name
|-
| {{icon|destroy}}[[Humanity First]]
| DestroyCouncil
|-
| {{icon|escape}}[[Project Exodus]]
| EscapeCouncil
|-
| {{icon|cooperate}}[[The Academy]]
| CooperateCouncil
|-
| {{icon|exploit}}[[The Initiative]]
| ExploitCouncil
|-
| {{icon|appease}}[[The Protectorate]]
| AppeaseCouncil
|-
| {{icon|resist}}[[The Resistance]]
| ResistCouncil
|-
| {{icon|submit}}[[The Servants]]
| SubmitCouncil
|-
| {{icon|alien}}[[Aliens]]
| AlienCouncil
|}

== Nation internal names ==
A complete list of all nation internal names may be found in \TerraInvicta_Data\StreamingAssets\Localization\en\TINationTemplate.en. You're smart enough to figure the rest out from there.

Unifying a non-existant nation with an existing one (ie, typing "unify RUS,EUA" instead of "unify EUA,RUS" when you've already incorporated the eurasian union into the EU) will create a new unified state with no occupied control points. That is, you will lose the nation. Additonally, per the regular union mechanic, any nations with cohesion less than 5 have a chance to split up on unification if they have absorbed any nations outside the primary unifying nation's claims: ie, if you tell the EU to absorb china, and china has absorbed laos, you may lose laos if china has cohesion less than 5. Using the regimechange command after doing this will give command of the nation to a random faction instead of you. (bug?)

As of Terra Invicta Build 1.0.26, there are 342 possible nations within the game. Various nations do not exist at game start but may secede or, conversely, unite throughout gameplay.

Nations have the following internal names:

== Faction internal names ==

Factions have the following internal names:
{| class="wikitable"
! Faction
! Internal name
|-
| {{icon|destroy}}[[Humanity First]]
| DestroyCouncil
|-
| {{icon|escape}}[[Project Exodus]]
| EscapeCouncil
|-
| {{icon|cooperate}}[[The Academy]]
| CooperateCouncil
|-
| {{icon|exploit}}[[The Initiative]]
| ExploitCouncil
|-
| {{icon|appease}}[[The Protectorate]]
| AppeaseCouncil
|-
| {{icon|resist}}[[The Resistance]]
| ResistCouncil
|-
| {{icon|submit}}[[The Servants]]
| SubmitCouncil
|-
| {{icon|alien}}[[Aliens]]
| AlienCouncil
|}

== Nation internal names ==
A complete list of all nation internal names may be found in \TerraInvicta_Data\StreamingAssets\Localization\en\TINationTemplate.en. You're smart enough to figure the rest out from there.

Unifying a non-existant nation with an existing one (ie, typing "unify RUS,EUA" instead of "unify EUA,RUS" when you've already incorporated the eurasian union into the EU) will create a new unified state with no occupied control points. That is, you will lose the nation. Additonally, per the regular union mechanic, any nations with cohesion less than 5 have a chance to split up on unification if they have absorbed any nations outside the primary unifying nation's claims: ie, if you tell the EU to absorb china, and china has absorbed laos, you may lose laos if china has cohesion less than 5. Using the regimechange command after doing this will give command of the nation to a random faction instead of you. (bug?)

As of Terra Invicta Build 1.0.26, there are 342 possible nations within the game. Various nations do not exist at game start but may secede or, conversely, unite throughout gameplay.

Nations have the following internal names:

76561198000875957: /* Alien Lasers */ removed unnecessary 'caption text' line above table

Basic guide to how much armor to use, what armor to use, and what to focus on.

== Damage ==

In order to understand armor, we need to first understand damage.

Each ship will have a certain amount of internal health and each component of that ship its own health pool.

Without armor, all damage is directly dealt to these, with armor things get more complicated based on the damage types.

=== Damage Types ===

Damages comes in 3 types.

* Regular - Which is blocked directly by armor. 10 regular damage vs 10 armor will result in nothing happening to the ship.
* Chipping - Which destroys some of your armor, weakening it and enabling critical hits on that face of the ship. 1 point of chipping damage destroy 1 m3 of armor, so the thicker the armor, the less chipping will occur.
* Shredding - Shredding damage directly removed layers of armor from the face. 1 point of shredding gets rid of 1 layer of armor.
* Critical - A critical hit will ignore all armor, applying its damage directly to internals.

=== Weapons ===

==== Kinetics ====

Kinetic weapons will deal roughly 70% of their listed damage as regular damage and roughly 30% as chipping.

The listed damage value for a kinetic is assuming 0 relative velocity. If ships are closing on each other, the damage will increase; if they're moving away, it will decrease.

==== Missiles ====

There are many varieties of missiles, which deal 3 sorts of damage.

* Kinetic - Penetrator and Fragmentation missiles which hit their target will do damage as if they were a kinetic round based on their weight and relative velocity. Explosive missiles only deal 10% of the expected kinetic damage. Other warhead types don't deal kinetic damage at all.
* Personal - The listed damage of the missile will then be applied to the ship. The % listed as applying to armor is chipping damage.
* Burst - Nuclear and antimatter missiles will also deal burst damage which falls off at r2. This damage is 100% Shredding.
* Fragmentation - Rather than rolling for critical hits once, they roll once per 5kg of warhead and apply the ratio of crits to non-crits as their critical damage.

==== Lasers ====
Lasers do a set amount of damage, but the value of the armor is first exponentiated by 1.5, then multiplied based on the lasers stats and distance. They use the Gaussian beam equation with spot size to determine the multiplier.

Example: a 24 cm green laser will deal 8-12 damage.

At 400km it has a 89% multiplier, so it will be completely blocked by 6 points of armor (6^1.5*0.89 = 13).

At 600km it has a 201% multiplier, so it will be completely blocked by 4 points of armor (4^1.5*2.01 = 16, while 3^1.5*2.01 = 10.4).

Lasers will do chipping based on their armor penetration, with 1/1000 of their armor penetration being the chipping rate. so the 24cm Green Laser at 600km will cause 0.2% chipping. This chip ratio is hard-capped at 25%.

Note: 0DR*1000000000 is still 0 DR, which is why every side of a combat ship needs to be armored.

==== Particles ====
Particle weapons will do the listed amount of damage, with armor treated as a divisor based on its stats and thickness, which means their damage cannot be completely nullified like other weapons. They also have a doubling range, at which point their damage is halved.

Due to the statistics on armor and how particle weapons behave, we can mostly ignore them in the current patch because any amount of armor which will help against lasers will nullify an equivalent particle beam. Making them deal fractions of a point of damage per hit.

==== Plasma ====
Plasma deals primarily chipping damage at [TODO] rate.

When massed, such as when you're fighting an alien station, it can grind down the relatively small nose sections of ships, but will take a long time to do any real damage by itself.

=== Steps of Applying Damage ===

Once an attack hits a ship, we go through the following steps.

# 1 - Calculate critical hit chance(% of armor chipped away / total volume).
# 2 - If a critical hit occurs, apply damage directly to the ship's health.
# 3 - If no critical occurs, apply chipping to armor value.
# 4 - Apply shredding to armor value.
# 5 - Subtract current armor value from regular damage, apply remaining to the ship's health.

== Armor ==

Now that we know how damage works, we can look at armor.

Given the amount of damage and chipping they do, no ship will stand up to either kinetic or missile hits for very long. So, we focus on the weapon types we cannot PD.

Plasma we can't do anything about, but it will take a long time to matter.

Particle beams can be ignored if we're armored up against lasers.

Thus, damage from enemy lasers are the main armor consideration.

=== What type of armor to use? ===
Human armor is basically a straight upgrade as you go up in tech costs because you want the lightest armor per layer you can afford to buy.

The main path is this: Silicon Carbide -> Composite -> Foamed Metal -> Nanotube -> Adamantine

In practice, most runs will go from the initial armors to Nanotube to Adamantine and end there.

Technically, there's also Exotic and Hybrid armor. These are better, but are so expensive that it almost never makes sense to use them.

=== Alien Lasers ===

Enemies
Alien lasers come in size 1 to 4, much like human ones and the cannon is a lot stronger with a 4 slot battery being worth around 1.5 slots of cannon that can shoot out further. But, their top lasers are much better than human lasers with x-ray flankers being the new menace that heavy plasma frigates once were.

Alien flankers are the ship types that will go off on the sides and you need to care about side/rear armor against. Line ships will stay in the main fleet, moving forward, and you want a lot of armor pointed at. In testing, I've found that flankers rarely move closer than 300km, typically staying at the 400-600 band, while getting within 400km of line ships means something has gone wrong and they're going to tear through you because going from 400 to 200 will triple the amount of armor you need, even assuming you can ensure they only hit the nose.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Type !! Hull Class !! Weapon !! Max Range
|-
| Light Flanker || Gunship, Escort, Corvette || 1 slot(256 cm) cannon || 800km
|-
| Heavy Flanker || Frigate, Monitor, Destroyer || 2 slot(512 cm) cannon or 4 slot(384 cm) battery || 900km
|-
| Light Line || Battle Cruiser, Dreadnought || 3 slot(768 cm) cannon || 1000km
|-
| Heavy Line || Lancer, Titan, Mothership || 4 slot(1024 cm) cannon || 1000km
|}

=== Important Breakpoints ===
You'll want this much armor on a face based on what you expect to be capable of hitting it to avoid taking damage. Building up towards a value will reduce the damage per hit to 0.

MR = max range of when they ship is capable of shooting at you, regular values assume you have to worry about alien lasers at the 400 km distance.

Very important breakpoints will be bolded

* 1 - Without 1 point, the weakest enemy ship, even a 1 slot orange battery, can simply destroy you. Only use 0 if you're positive it will never face fire.
* 3 - MR light orange flanker
* '''5 - light orange flanker, MR light violet flanker'''
* 6 - MR heavy orange flanker
* '''8 - light violet flanker'''
* 11 - MR heavy violet flanker, MR light orange line
* '''15 - heavy orange flanker, MR light x-ray flanker'''
* 20 - MR heavy orange line, MR light violet line
* 25 - heavy violet flanker, MR heavy violet line, MR heavy x-ray flanker
* '''30 - light orange line'''
* 40 - light x-ray flanker, MR light x-ray line
* 50 - light violet line, MR light gamma
* '''60 - heavy orange line, MR heavy x-ray line'''
* '''80 - heavy violet line, heavy x-ray flanker, MR heavy gamma'''
* 120 - light x-ray line
* 150 - heavy x-ray line
* '''160 - high bombarding T3 alien bases'''
* 180 - light gamma
* 260 - heavy gamma

=== How much can I afford? ===
The more armor you have, the worse your ships were perform.

A rough heuristic is that you don't want to drop any ship below 2mg of cruise thrust, or spend more than 30% of the ship's mass on fuel. If you want a ship able to reliably intercept ennemy fleet on orbital trajectory, you need at least 15mg of cruise thrust.

You'll need to check your enemy's combat stats to figure out which you need, but generally you'll need to be ready for Orange lasers in the 2020's, Violet until ~2037, and X-Ray beyond that. Gamma is, thankfully, very rare.

Side armor is also a fascinating question for this, as you can see, you aren't going to armor up against x-ray flankers without breaking your bank. They need to die before they get a chance to shoot you.

=== Quick recommendations ===
All of the following are structures as Nose / Side / Rear

* 8/0/0 - Suicidal missile ships to deal with early surveillance ships.
* 15/1/1 - Non-suicidal missile ships that're dealing with small enemy ships.
* 30/1/1 - Missile ships that need to kill large enemy ships from max range.
* 60/5/5 - Your first line ships which will spend time duking it out with the enemy line, when flankers are not able to be killed quickly. Luckily, this is within the Battle Cruiser + Burner Drive meta. Lancer + Burner will need Adamantine Armor or utility modules dedicated to EV and Thrust.
* 80/1/1 - Fleets where you need to take out alien stations without dying. Technically possible with BC + Nano + Grid(but your low cruise velocity will be painful), but you really want Adamantine along with Helicon or better, especially for Lancers which are just too heavy.
* 80/15/15 - This will let you ignore any flanker less than heavy violet or x-ray. BC + Burner can pull this off with Adamantine Armor. You really want H-Orion or Antimatter/Fusion.
* 160/1/1 - Standard for deep space end-game fleets when the aliens are running x-rays. You cannot allow any flanks from x-ray weapons, so skimp on armor and kill them. It will also allow you to bombard any base to death.
* 160/25/25 - As above, but you ignore non x-ray flankers. Almost never worth it.

[[File:Council.png|thumb|400px|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 over the next few weeks. While some missions are automatically successful, most require a success roll. Missions can target [[Regions]], [[Nations]], control points, [[Habs]], [[Orgs]], [[Spaceships]], and other councilors.

Factions can recruit councilors by spending {{icon|influence|bgcolor=DarkSlateGray}}Influence. Each month there is a new group of potential recruits to choose from. You can also turn councilors from other factions to work for you.

The name and appearance of recruited councilors can be customized at any time.

== Recruiting ==

On the 1st of each month, just after missions are assigned, each faction refreshes their own private recruiting candidate pool. Each refresh works as follows:
# Each councilor currently in the recruit list has an age × 1% chance to be removed from the recruit list.
# The recruit list's desired size is randomized to be between 6 and 9.
# Repeatedly add councilors until the recruit list size is at least the desired size, where the added councilors are chosen as follows:
#* If there are any pregen councilors that have never appeared in anyone's recruit list and a 15% chance roll succeeds, then one of them is randomly chosen.
#* Otherwise, generate a random new councilor.

Whenever a random new councilor is generated, if the faction cannot afford to hire any of the recruitable councilors and there are less than two recruitable councilors whose professions match the faction's affinities, then the random new councilor's profession is forced to match the faction's affinities.

Randomly generated councilors are assigned home regions randomly, with the chance of a [[Regions|region]] being selected being proportional to the region's (or the region's [[Nations|nation]]'s): {{icon|pop}}[[Nations#Population|Population]] × {{icon|education}}[[Nations#Education|Education]] × 1.1 if {{icon|core economic region|bgcolor=DarkSlateGray}}Core Economic × Max(50%, Faction [[Nations#Public_Opinion|Public Support]] %).

Randomly generated councilors are assigned birth dates randomly as follows:
* The game rolls three d15s, subtracting their total from the current year, and then subtracting another 21 to become the councilor's birth year.
* The game rolls a d12 to become the councilor's birth month.
* The game picks a random day in that birth month to be the birth day.

== XP ==

<blockquote>
Your councilors' XP ("experience points") value represents personal growth and acquired knowledge that can be directed to improve the councilor. Councilors gain 1 or more XP for attempting missions, and they typically gain at least 2 XP for successful missions in which they must pass a die roll. XP may be spent on improving a councilor's attributes, adding beneficial traits, or removing certain negative traits.
</blockquote>
~ Councilor UI XP Tooltip, Terra Invicta, 0.4.90.

Every councilor has a personal pool of XP points. These XP points are typically gained by having the councilor perform [[Missions]], though some [[Events]] also award them.

A councilor's XP points can be spent to improve the councilor's [[Councilors#Attributes|Attributes]], as well as to add or remove certain [[Councilors#Traits|Traits]].

=== New Recruit XP Bonus ===

When a human councilor is recruited for the first time (in the entire campaign, over all [[Factions]]), it immediately receives an amount of bonus XP that is calculated as follows:
* If the councilor is more than 30 years old, then +2 bonus XP per year over 30.
* If the recruiting faction has researched [[Crash Training Program]], then +40 bonus XP.
* If the recruiting faction has researched [[Onboarding Injections]], then +40 bonus XP.
* If the recruiting faction has researched [[Training Simulation Implants]], then +40 bonus XP.

== Profession ==
This section discusses the game mechanics for councilor professions. For a list of all councilor professions in Terra Invicta, as well as their stats, see [[Profession List]] instead.

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 alien councilors.

The two councilors that each faction begins the campaign with have their base stats modified, possibly beyond the bounds of their profession. See [[Councilors#Average_Newly_Generated_Councilors| Average Newly Generated Councilors]] for details.

A faction can have affinity or anti-affinity for a councilor profession. A councilor normally costs 60 influence to hire, but costs only 30 if the faction has an affinity for it. An anti-affinity makes the cost 120 instead.

Whenever a new councilor would be generated during the monthly refresh, if the faction cannot afford to hire any of the current recruits and there are less than two recruits whose professions match the faction's affinities, then the new councilor's profession is set to match the faction's affinities.

== Attributes ==
A councilor has eight attributes:
* [[Persuasion]] {{icon|persuasion}}: The ability to shape the opinions of others to your own.
* [[Investigation]] {{icon|investigation}}: The councilor's ability to discover information someone would prefer to keep hidden.
* [[Espionage]] {{icon|espionage}}: The ability to move in secret and conduct covert operations.
* [[Command]] {{icon|command}}: This councilor's ability to organize and lead combat operations.
* [[Administration]] {{icon|administration}}: The ability to manage large organizations.
* [[Science]] {{icon|science}}: The ability to investigate and analyze phenomena to derive new understandings of the universe and those who inhabit it.
* [[Security]] {{icon|security}}: This councilor's ability to survive violence.
* [[Loyalty]] {{icon|loyalty}}: How likely councilors are to betray their faction to another.

These eight attributes mainly determine success chances for councilors [[Missions]], including enemy missions against your faction assets. But they may also provide other bonuses such as increasing incomes, increasing {{icon|cp}} control point capacity, increasing org capacity, increasing project unlock chances, and getting better results on certain events.

Each attribute name is a link to a more detailed attribute page that includes a list of all missions, councilor professions, councilor traits, and orgs that are related to that attribute.

== Natural Death ==

There is a threshold age at which a councilor may die of old age. This age is 65 for male councilor and 71 for female councilor. It can be increased further by tech:
* +10 years when [[DNA Repairs]] is researched.
* +10 years when [[Methuselah Therapies]] is researched.
* +0.5 years for each time [[Future Tech: Life Science]] is researched.

The probability to die per year start at 1.6%, rises at 3.1% after 10 years above the threshold, 7.6% after 20 years, and 18.1% after 30 years. Therefore the average lifespan of a councilor is around 20 years above the threshold.

== Detection ==

[[File:councilor_detected.png|thumb|200px|A councilor being detected and aware of that.]]

Whenever a councilor completes a mission (whether successful or failed, but not aborted), the game checks whether each of the other factions detected the councilor doing the mission. If the councilor is not on earth and the other faction has no councilors on the same hab, then the detection chance is zero.

Otherwise, the chance is calculated in the same way as a councilor mission, with a bunch of attack and defense modifiers pitting the councilors abilities at hiding themselves against the faction's abilities to discover councilors.

[[File:ICO geoscape councilor unknown generic.png|thumb|60px|Councilor detected]]
[[File:ICO geoscape councilor exploit generic.png|thumb|60px|Councilor identified (The Initiative)]]

A detection normal success will give 10% intel, which typically reveals the location but not the faction of the councilor, marking councilor with a {{icon|councilor}}gray icon. This will allow the {{MissionIcon|Investigate Councilor}}[[Investigate Councilor]] mission to target them.

A detection critical success will give 25% intel, which typically reveals the faction of the councilor and allows all missions to target the councilor, marking councilor with a faction-colored icon.

<references />

=== Detection awareness ===

Whenever a councilor's mission is detected by another faction, there is a chance that the councilor will learn that they were detected. The chance is also calculated in the same way as a councilor mission, but the attack and defense modifiers are much simpler:
* The only Attack modifier is the detected councilor's {{icon|investigation}}[[Investigation]] attribute.
* The only Defense modifier is the sum of the {{icon|espionage}}[[Espionage]] attributes of the detecting faction's councilors, divided by 6. (But {{MissionIcon|Detain}}[[Detain|detained]] councilors are excluded.)

If the player faction discovers a councilor has been detected they'll see the pawn notification icon on left edge on screen in color of their faction.

All councilors keep track of all [[Factions]] they are aware have spotted them. Player has this information about {{MissionIcon|Turn}}[[Turn Councilor|turned]] councilors as well. It is visible on councilor's face image - as highlighted on the picture here. This information however does not tell you ''when'' they were last spotted by the faction.

The {{MissionIcon|Go To Ground}}[[Go To Ground]] mission will erase this information. Even though it is not guaranteed that other factions will lose all intel on the councilor. However - it is still possible to be spotted on the {{MissionIcon|Go To Ground}}[[Go To Ground]] mission - it's just unlikely with mission noise caused being negative 8.

=== Alien Detection Restrictions ===

{{SpoilerBox}}

At the start of the game, an alien councilor can only be detected when it is performing a {{MissionIcon|Terrorize}}[[Terrorize Region]] mission. Furthermore, this only reveals the region that the mission was performed in and places an Alien Activity site in it for factions to investigate. The alien councilor itself is not revealed and cannot be targeted.

The following actions must be taken to allow better detection:
* Research [[Alien Signatures]]: Allows the detection of {{MissionIcon|Abductions}}[[Abductions]] missions performed by alien councilors.
* Research [[Alien Methods]]: Allows the detection of {{MissionIcon|Enthrall Elites}}[[Enthrall Elites]], {{MissionIcon|Enthrall Public}}[[Enthrall Public]], [[Enthrall Org]], and [[Enthrall Unaligned Elites]] missions performed by alien councilors.
* Research [[Alien Operations]]: Allows the detection of all missions performed by alien councilors.
* Research [[Alien Movements]]: Actually reveals the alien councilor when its mission is detected.

{{SpoilerBoxEnd}}

=== Intel on target ===

Each faction's intel on each target is rated on a scale from 0% to 100%. For councilors, the amount of intel a faction has on them determines what the details faction can see:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Intel Level !! Details Visible
|-
| <10% || Nothing (but the fact that they exist may be revealed if you have intel on their faction).
|-
| >=10% || The councilor's location is revealed.
|-
| >=25% || The councilor's faction, identity, and class are revealed.
|-
| >=50% || The councilor's stats, [[Orgs|orgs]], and available [[Missions|missions]] are revealed.
|-
| >=75% || The councilor's current mission assignment is revealed.
|-
| 100% || The councilor's {{icon|loyalty}}[[Loyalty]] is revealed, as well as which faction has turned them, if any.
|}

The intel level that a faction has on a councilor is mainly affects the missions that can be done to that councilor:
{| class="wikitable sortable"
|-
! Intel Level !! Mission Effect
|-
| <10% || Cannot be targeted by [[Missions]].
|-

A faction's intel on a councilor can change from the following:

{| class="wikitable sortable"
|-

=== Turn councilor ===

[[File:Turned.png|200px|thumb|Turned councilor]]
Councilors with 100% intel on them can become this faction's spies via {{MissionIcon|Turn}}[[Turn Councilor]] mission. Each faction can have no more than 2 spies in other factions.

Turned councilors provide full vision of their faction, and share all intel that faction has. This includes the 75% baseline intel that the faction has on their councilors, as well as all prospecting data they have on the solar system. Having a turned councilor in {{icon|submit}}[[The Servants]] can be especially helpful, since {{icon|submit}}[[The Servants]] often have much more intel on alien assets such as [[Aliens#Alien_Xenoforming|Xenoflora]].

Turn councilors can be forced to increase failure chance on their missions. Other factions are programmed to track councilors suspected to be traitors and deal with them (their suspicion about advisers is stored in <code>internalCouncilorSuspicion</code> variable).

{{icon|alien}}[[Aliens|Alien]] councilors can never be turned.

==== Dealing with spies ====

* {{MissionIcon|Investigate Councilor}}[[Investigate Councilor]] may reveal whether investigated adviser is turned or not.
* {{MissionIcon|Inspire}}[[Inspire]] will make target councilor cut their contacts with faction that turned them. This will not reveal whether this councilor was a spy or not.
* Firing suspected councilor or sending them on suicide mission is also a valid option.

==== Stealing councilors ====

It's possible to steal turned councilors from other factions. To do that, open their profile in council interface and press ''resign''. This will add them to your private councilor recruit pool, allowing you to hire them.

== Traits ==
Traits are innate characteristics of a councilor. They may grant permanent or conditioned stat bonuses or maluses, incomes, or access to certain orgs.

Some traits may be purchased, upgraded or removed by spending XP:
* Purchase Costs are '''doubled''' if the councilor's profession normally does not allow them to acquire the trait.
* Traits that say they are upgraded from another trait cannot be purchased directly: instead, the councilor already possess the other trait, and then paying the costs will swap out that trait for the target trait.
* Costs are ''displayed'' as '''negative''' if the trait can be removed, not purchased.

Traits in each group are mutually exclusive with other members in the same group: no councilor may have more than one trait from the same group at the same time.

Note: Section work in progress... Group names are '''not''' official, the game just assigned them to groups and I gave them the best name I could think of... feel free to replace with better names!

=== Ungrouped Traits ===

These traits have no group, so councilors can have multiple of them at the same time.

{| class="wikitable"

|-
| Innovative || A wellspring of new ideas. || || || || || || || || 1{{icon|science}} 
|}

Demanding, Insecure, Anxious, Loss Averse, and Family Ties traits also cause the councilor to lose {{icon|loyalty}} under certain conditions. But this loyalty loss can be fixed with [[Inspire]] missions.

=== Special Traits ===

These traits are impossible for councilors to get normally. Instead, these traits can appear when the following actions are done:

{{SpoilerBox}}
* Vengeful: Attempt to {{MissionIcon|Assassinate}}[[Assassinate]] one of your own councilors after discovering that they are a mole.
* Declining: Have a really old councilor without researching enough lifespan extension.
* Second Wave: Get rid of any of the first wave of {{icon|alien}}[[Aliens|alien]] councilors.
* Marked: Attempt to {{MissionIcon|Assassinate}}[[Assassinate]] a councilor that has the Untouchable or Prominent trait.
* Ace Assassin: {{MissionIcon|Assassinate}}[[Assassinate]] 5 alien councilors with one councilor. Only available to {{icon|destroy}}[[Humanity First]].

|-
| Ace Assassin || An efficient killer. || || || || || 3{{icon|espionage}} 
|}

{{SpoilerBoxEnd}}

Finally, the Prominent trait is actually not a councilor trait at all. It is instead a trait given by equipping certain [[Orgs]].

Note: Negative values are not a typo. There exist traits that reduce a councilor's attributes. Although these traits cannot actually reduce the attribute below 0, they will apply their attribute reduction when the councilor brings their attribute above 0 via orgs or augmentations.

The two initial councilors that a faction can begin with have additional bonuses applied to them:
* All traits that give the councilor movement restrictions are removed.
* If the councilor has only one '''keyStat''', then that stat is set to 8.
* Otherwise, the primary '''keyStat''' is set to 7, while the secondary '''keyStat''' is set to 6.

Exceptions:
* On Cinematic and Normal difficulties, the AI factions do not get this bonus.
* In rare cases, both of the initial councilors could roll the same home nation. The game does not approve of this home nation sharing, and will force the second councilor to reroll its whole character. This reroll is done without applying the bonus.

Note: If a profession has a non-zero chance of getting the Government or Criminal Trait, they can use XP (and resources) to purchase that Trait. But only if they do not already possess a Trait from that group. The traits in that group are Government, Criminal, National Hero, Enemy of the State, and Pariah.
