Councilors

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 in a random sequence over the next few weeks. While some missions are automatically successful, most require a success roll. Missions can target nations, control points, habitats, and other councilors.

Factions can recruit councilors by spending Influence. Each month there is a new group of potetial recruits to choose from. You can also turn councilors from other factions to work for you.

The name and appearance of recruired councilors can be changed 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:

1. Each councilor currently in the recruit list has an age × 1% chance to be removed from the recruit list.
2. The recruit list's desired size is randomized to be between 6 and 9.
3. 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.

Profession

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.

Note: The two councilors that each faction begins the campaign with have their base stats modified. See Councilors#Average_Newly_Generated_Councilors for details.

Faction Profession Affinities

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.

Loyalty	Decreases the success chance of enemy Control Space Asset missions Decreases the success chance of enemy Turn Councilor missions Requires Investigate Councilor missions to know if the value changes	The Loyalty attribute determines how likely councilors are to betray their faction to another.

Natural Death

There is a treshold 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 treshold, 7.6% after 20 years, and 18.1% after 30 years. Therefore the average lifespan of a councilor is around 20 years above the treshold.

Detection

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.

The defense modifiers used by a councilor to avoid detection.

Category	Conditions	Strength
Councilor Attributes and Traits	None	Espionage + Trait Modifier to Espionage when being detected
New Recruit Bonus	<6 months since Recruit Date	12 - 2 per month since Recruit Date
Mission Noise	None	- Noise value (may depend on mission outcome)
Region Xenoforming	Councilor is Alien	Xenoflora Growth Levels / 5
Region Alien Facility	Councilor is Alien	6

The attack modifiers used by a faction to detect councilors.

Category	Conditions	Strength
Faction's Councilor Attributes and Traits	In same location	(Investigation + Trait Modifier to Investigation when detecting other councilors) / 6
	In same nation but not same region	(Investigation + Trait Modifier to Investigation when detecting other councilors) / 12
	In different nation but adjacent region	(Investigation + Trait Modifier to Investigation when detecting other councilors) / 24
Nation Control Points	Not Cracked	2 × Fraction of Nation Control Points Owned
Xenology Lab Modules	Target is Alien. Modules are Active. Modules are in Earth Interface Orbit.	Sum of Xenology Lab module tiers, capped at 9.
Global Listening Network project	Target is Alien	1
Hab Ownership	Target councilor on your Hab	6 - Hab Tier
Faction is performing Surveil Location in this location or adjacent region	Target is Human	12
	Target is Alien	Alien Activity Investigations, capped between 1 and 12.

Councilor detected

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 gray icon. This will allow the 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.

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 councilors Investigation attribute.
• The only Defense modifier is the sum of the Espionage attributes of the detecting faction's councilors, divided by 6. (But 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 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.

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 Go To Ground mission - it's just unlikely with mission noise caused being negative 8.

Alien Detection Restrictions

SPOILERS INSIDE!

At the start of the game, an alien councilor can only be detected when it is performing a Terrorize 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 Abductions missions performed by alien councilors. Research Alien Methods: Allows the detection of Enthrall Elites, 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.

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:

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, and available missions are revealed.
>=75%	The councilor's current mission assignment is revealed.
100%	The councilor's 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:

Intel Level	Mission Effect
<10%	Cannot be targeted by Missions.
>=10%	Can be targeted by Investigate Councilor missions.
>=25%	Can be targeted by Assassinate, Contact, Detain, Pass Technology, Sabotage Project, and Steal Project missions.
>=50%	Can be targeted by Hostile Takeover missions.
	Suffers +1 Attack on Assassinate, Detain, Hostile Takeover, and Steal Project missions.
>=75%	Can be targeted by Extract and Inspire missions from the councilor's faction.
	Suffers +3 Attack on Assassinate, Detain, Hostile Takeover, and Steal Project missions.
100%	Can be targeted by Turn Councilor missions.
	Suffers +5 Attack on Assassinate, Detain, Hostile Takeover, Steal Project, and Turn Councilor missions.

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

Source	Conditions	Intel Change
Councilor Retires	None	Set to 0%
Faction is the Councilor's Owning Faction	Whenever below 75%	Set to 75%
Councilor is Turned by Faction	Whenever below 100%	Set to 100%
Faction performs Investigate Councilor mission on Councilor	Normal Success	25% + 0.5% × Investigator's Investigation
	Critical Success	50% + 1% × Investigator's Investigation
Faction Captures (or Buys) Hab of Councilor's Faction	None	25%
Councilor gets Detained by Faction	None	4% × (25 - Councilor Loyalty)
Councilor is no longer Detained by Faction	Detainment ends naturally	4% × (25 - Councilor Loyalty) × Interrogation Research Multipliers
Faction detects Councilor doing any Mission	Normal Detection Success	10%
	Critical Detection Success	25%
Councilor performs Go to Ground mission	Owning Faction	Set to 75%
	Non-Owning Factions	50% + 3% × Councilor Espionage
Natural Decay when Councilor is not Targeted by Faction for a turn	Councilor is Alien	Set to 0%
	(100% - Intel on Councilor / 2) Chance	Set to 0%
	None	25% or 50% (equal chance)

Turn councilor

Turned councilor

Councilors with 100% intel on them can become this faction's spies via Turn councilor action. 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 The Servants can be especially helpful, since The Servants often have much more intel on alien assets such as 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 internalCouncilorSuspicion variable).

Hydra councilors can never be turned.

Dealing with spies

• Investigate councilor may reveal whether investigated adviser is turned or not.
• 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!

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.
