I'm going to start playing my games and i want my social engineering, tech tree decisions to be as close to what the "insert faction leader" would do.
I use the blurbs as clues to what they might be.
Lets start with Zakharov
1) Social engineering:
a) SOICAL: POLICE STATE (reason, in one of the blurbs, his second in command, Fedor Petrov seems to have the power to prevent the genetic inspectors from inquiring about research into retroviral engineering. In one of Lal's quotes "beware of he who denies you access to information , for in his heart he dreams himself your master" I suspect Lal is reffering to Zakharov, though its a tough call.
b) ECONOMY: PLANED ( not sure about free market, but he definatley does not use GREEN. In one of the blurbs he seeps to have a sort of PTSD panic attack because of a mind worm incident in Lab 3 "I want every last mind worm egg, every last one of them cooked to a smoking husk".
c) VALUES : KNOWLEDGE (obvious is obvious)
d) FUTURE : CYBERNETIC (He is perhaps the only faction leader who does this, not sure about Lal though) or maybe THOUGHT CONTROL ?
Hmm no blurb comes to mind that would indicate what future society he would choose, anyone got a suggestion?
I'l be using Blind research, as i believe that is cannon , and leave the default values
in Zakharov's case its Discover:advance of pure knowledge
Please post about the other faction leaders as well, and do include quotes as evidence. This should be interesting eh?
