Picture this game-flow:

Choose new game…set up world…choose faction (or create a new one)…customize faction…choose sovereign…customize sovereign…

Now, at that point, we’re talking about customizing ones sovereign (as opposed to your faction)

So what might some of those traits be that you’d want to tweak?

Here’s a few off the top of my head:

• · Essence (-1, 0, +1, +2)
• · Fertility (-10%, 0, 10%, 20%)
• · Base Attack (-1, 0, 1, 2)
• · Base Defense (-1, 0, 1, 2)
• · Base Strength (-1, 0, 1, 2)
• · Base Combat Speed (-1, 0, 1, 2)
• · Base Movement (0, 1)
• · Base Diplomacy ability (-1, 0, 1, 2)

You’d start out with N points and can spend them on these various traits.

What would you add and how would they affect the game?
