Council Position Diversity

Council Position Diversity adds custom councilor titles for each government type to replace the default Head of Research, Minister of Defense, and Minister of State. It also change some default ruler and heir titles. Gestalt councils are included as well, with custom names for all hive and machine nodes.

This mod is intended only for roleplay flavor and does not alter any gameplay value. It applies to both player and AI empires.

This mod shouldn't conflict with any mod affecting councilors unless they completely revamp how default councilors work. It may, very specifically, conflict with mods altering the situations and events unlocking new advanced authorities as part of the Machine Age DLC. If you're experiencing an issue, try changing the mod's load order. Otherwise, load order shouldn't matter much.

This mod should work with all, none, or any combination of DLC, including with or without Paragons. Please let me know if something isn't working right.

It only triggers on a new game or when reforming government, so it won't apply immediately if you enable the mod mid-game.

Not achievement friendly.

1. Without the Paragons DLC, random councilors may be unassigned from their position at the start of the game. I have no clue why it does that, but you can just assign them back.
