Shaping Your Legacy - The Council and Advisors

Greetings, rulers! Today's dev diary sheds light on two crucial pillars of your Civilization's success: The Council and your esteemed Advisors.

[h3]The Guiding Hand:[/h3]
The Council serves as your inner circle, a group of trusted individuals offering counsel and shaping your Civilization's trajectory.
Led by the Ruler (King in monarchies, elected official in republics), the Council's composition reflects your government type. Ruler receives up to four random, small bonuses that can bolster your leadership.



[h3]Specialized Expertise[/h3]
Beyond the Council's general wisdom, you can bolster your Civilization's strength by hiring specialized Advisors. Each advisor represents a critical domain:

[h3]Administrative Advisor[/h3]
This seasoned bureaucrat offers bonuses to streamline your realm's operation. Expect reductions in province maintenance costs, administrative building construction, construction time, and even religious conversion costs.



[h3]Economic Advisor[/h3]
With a keen eye for profit, this advisor unlocks benefits for your economic engine. You'll see lower costs for province investment and economic buildings, increased production efficiency, plus a reduction in core creation costs and more.



[h3]Innovation Advisor[/h3]
This visionary thinker expedites your technological advancement. They might accelerate research or cement your civilization's legacy with unique bonuses.



[h3]Military Advisor[/h3]
A seasoned strategist, this advisor provides tactical advantages to your armed forces. Expect bonuses for your generals (attack/defense), reduced army maintenance costs, higher siege effectiveness, or even an increase in your Civilization 's overall manpower and many more!




[h3]Investing in Greatness[/h3]
Hiring advisors requires both gold and civilization legacy. These permanent acquisitions become invaluable assets, shaping your Civilization 's path.

[h3]Sharpening the Edge[/h3]
But the story doesn't end there. As your civilization unlocks new legacies or technologies, you can further enhance your advisors' skills. By increasing their skill level, all existing bonuses receive a +50% boost.

[h3]A Symphony of Expertise[/h3]
The Council and Advisors work in tandem. The Council provides a foundation of leadership, while advisors offer specialized expertise to truly propel your Civilization to greatness.
