Cabinet Ministers

[jadestorm]

One of the things that I've often felt was "lacking" from the SR's that I have played is some sort of "personality" with your cabinet ministers, and possible issues and resolutions associated with them. For example, I might like, as I come to power, to high a military minister who is heavily focused on expanding our borders. I may tell him to focus on defense, but he builds up offensive military anyway and pisses off my neighbors and even causes a war with one of them because he has troops on their border. Said war completes but now the population hates me and I personally am rather pissed at him for causing that. So I fire him and choose a new minister. The population immediately approves of me a bit more, as do my neighbors, because I have removed this person from his position. That's not to say it's an immediate huge jump as they don't KNOW for sure that I wasn't in agreement with his choices so it might help my approval ratings and such over the course of the next year to see that I have appointed a new minister that indeed is focused on defense and I am fully sticking with that.

TL;DR: have the ministers be actual "people" who have a couple of traits to them that may or may not fall in line with your own policies.

You mean like there being several candidates each with their own set of traits/priorities/strategies? That would be lovely. BUT ONLY IF I CAN EXECUTE THEM IF I DONT LIKE THEM UNDER DICTATORSHIP.
