領袖

Employed leaders

A leader is a named character that leads a significant part of the Empire, as Governor, Scientist, Admiral or General. The ruler is a specific subtype of Leader and in many cases elected from the existing leaders.

The name of a leader can be changed at any time by clicking on it.

Gaining and losing leaders

All values in this section can be modified by leader traits, edicts, technology, policies, traditions, civics, and ruler traits.

Leaders other than Rulers may be dismissed at any time. Dismissal is irreversible.

Leader pool

While some events and diplomatic options may give leaders, the most common way to get leaders is to recruit them from the leader pool. There is one pool for each type of leader, other than Rulers who cannot be recruited directly. Each leader pool will contain 3 leaders, or 4 if the empire has the  模塊化功能（Delegated Functions） civic. If a leader is recruited another one will be added to the pool.

A leader can be recruited from the pool for a cost of 50  凝聚力（Unity） + 50  凝聚力（Unity） for every leader beyond the initial five (the leader, one governor and three scientists), modified by the following:

Source	Cost
活力四射（Eager） leader trait	-50%
Newboot leader trait	-50%
Selected Lineages Leader Enhancement policy	+50%
Capacity Boosters Leader Enhancement policy	+100%

Leaders in the pool are replaced every year. Alternatively it is possible, but potentially expensive, to "re-roll" leaders in the pool by recruiting and immediately dismissing them to generate a replacement.

Once recruited, leaders can be freely assigned to different posts (for example, moving a governor from one planet to another sector), be left without an assignment, or be dismissed.

Each Leader save for the Ruler has a monthly upkeep of 2  凝聚力（Unity）, halved with either the  活力四射（Eager） or Newboot leader trait.

Lifespan

Each leader has an age in years and has a base guaranteed  lifespan of 80 years, which can be improved by certain species traits, leader traits, and technologies.

After passing their guaranteed lifespan, leaders have a chance of dying every month. The probability is 0.2% per year that has passed since their guaranteed lifespan. After 20 years past their guaranteed lifespan this increases to 2% per month. The mean lifespan with no modifiers is 88 years, 6 months.

Hovering over a leader's age will show the leader's guaranteed lifespan and current chance to die each month. Rulers of Gestalt empires are immortal.

The following modifiers affect Leader Lifespan:

Initial age

The initial age of a new leader can vary. The  石質（Lithoid） initial age overrides all others.

Condition	Age	Effective lifespan	DLC
Default	28-50	30-52 (41)
Imperial Heir	18-26	54-62 (58)
Robotic species	2-10	Immortal
蜂巢思維（Hive-Minded） species	10-20	60-70 (65)

複製人士兵（Clone Soldier） species	5-20	20-35 (27.5)
複製人士兵先裔（Clone Soldier Ascendant） species	5-20	60-75 (67.5)

Death by accident

While  機械體（Mechanical） and  機械（Machine） leaders are immortal, they can still die by accident, regardless of their age. Every 10 years, there is the following chance of a leader suffering a fatal accident:

• 88%: nothing happens
• 2%: Survey Ship scientist dies
• 2%: Engineering Research Leader dies
• 2%: Society Research Leader dies
• 2%: Physics Research Leader dies
• 2%: Admiral commanding a fleet dies
• 2%: Governor governing a sector dies

Note that this is rolled per empire, not per leader. For a role with exactly one leader, this represents a mean active lifespan of 500 years. An exploit to negate the chance for accidental death entirely exists: remove each leader before the decade begins then returning the leaders after a month passes.

 機械智能（Machine Intelligence） empires can adopt the Self-Preservation Protocols Tradition to reduce the weight of accidents by half, reducing the chance for an accident to occur for each role to 1.06% (6.38% total), for a mean active lifespan of 940 years.

Skill level

 請幫助核對或更新這個段落，最近核對為3.3版本。

The skill level of a leader determines their basic bonuses, which depend on leader type (ruler, governor, etc.). By default, skill ranges from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 5. The skill cap can be increased to a max level of 10 through certain traditions, traits, civics, and the leader enhancement policy.

A leader's skill increases after accumulating a certain number of experience points, shown in the table below. Upon gaining a level, a leader's experience total resets to 0 and they have a chance to gain a leader trait. A leader who has previously gained a trait from leveling cannot get another trait from leveling. Leaders who already have three or more traits cannot gain a leader trait.

Level	II	III	IV	V	VI	VII	VIII	IX	X
XP	200	475	825	1250	1750	2325	2975	3700	4500
Total XP	200	675	1500	2750	4500	6825	9800	13500	18000
Trait gain chance (admirals and scientists)	10%	14.3%	21.7%	35.7%
Trait gain chance (generals, governors, and rulers)	20%	27.3%	38.5%	55.6%

Leader classes

Leaders are divided into 5 classes that determine their possible assignments, bonuses, experience sources, and available traits.

Class	Bonus per level	Experience gain	Assignment	Notes
Ruler	File:Mod edict cap add.png +5 Edict Fund	5 per month if ruler 1 per month if heir	Empire	Rulers are elected from leaders based on an empire's Government type, unless using the  帝制（Imperial） authority or the  格式塔意識（Gestalt Consciousness） ethic An empire's first ruler's name and appearance can be customized at empire creation but its traits are randomized Leaders that become rulers receive a new set of ruler traits Rulers that return to their pre-ruler class return to their previous traits and can be reassigned Rulers can be assassinated by the Contingency during the Crisis When an empire's first ruler steps down it becomes a governor
Governor	+2% Resources from Jobs -2% Empire Sprawl from Pops -3 Crime	5 per month when governing	Sectors	Governors can be killed by the Gangsters Assassinate Governor crime event if a planet in their sector has the  Mob Rule planet modifier

General	+5% Army Damage	100 per ground battle +0.25 per destroyed army on either side	Planets Transport fleets	Generals have a 5% chance to die each time they lose an army

Leader traits

Non-ruler leaders are generated with one pre-existing positive trait suitable for their class. Rulers get two.

Every time a leader gains a level, they have a chance to receive an additional trait, unless they:

• Already have 3 traits.
• Have already gained a trait via level-up.

Some traits are only available when recruiting a leader from the leader pool and can't be gained from level-up, and vice versa.

Immortal leaders that aren't members of a  格式塔意識（Gestalt Consciousness） empire can gain traits with no effect beyond modifying their lifespan, effectively wasting their level-up trait slot with no benefit or penalty. This is most likely to occur with  機械體（Mechanical） or Namarian leaders.

A leader can gain a trait that's the opposite of one they already have as long as its absence isn't listed as a requirement - a Scientist with a Sapient AI Assistant can also gain a Custom AI Assistant, for example. Since leaders can't start with negative traits and can only gain one trait from level-up, you'll usually only see this happen for opposite traits where both are beneficial.

Governors are significantly more likely to gain a negative trait from level-up since almost half their possible positive traits (5/12) are only available at recruitment.
