Authority coverage
None of these pools covers authority. The normal 0.65 multiplier applies; focus on role fit and avoiding critical-seat penalties.

Make the trade-off
Role fit is one part of the score
Percentages use the live scoring engine's normalized role weights. All candidates in the same pool share a category and country, so choosing a different name within that pool does not improve role fit. The seat you assign changes the outcome.
Check tier bonuses and penalties alongside the complete role table. A high-fit seat can still compete with a stronger bonus elsewhere. These inputs are calculated from the bundled date seed; battlefield variance means they are not a guaranteed final score.
The cost of one swap in this briefing
Keep these exact five pools fixed and compare all 120 seat assignments at zero battlefield variance. The first lineup below maximizes the minimum score. Then swap only Propaganda Minister and Treasurer: this is the largest decrease among the ten possible two-seat swaps from that lineup, not a claim about the most common player mistake.
Best guaranteed score for these pools: 139–159 / 195
| Seat | Representative candidate | Category / country |
|---|---|---|
| President | Jenna Jameson | Porn Stars / USA |
| Vice President | Oprah Winfrey | TV Hosts / USA |
| General | Hulk Hogan | Wrestlers / USA |
| Propaganda Minister | Jay-Z | Rappers / USA |
| Treasurer | Elon Musk | Billionaires / USA |
Average role fit 62% · Specialist bonuses +27 · Coalition +0 · Authority multiplier 0.65 · Critical-seat deductions −0.
The range uses battlefield variance 0–20, followed by rounding and the 195-point cap. Displayed role fit is rounded; the engine uses the unrounded value.
After swapping Propaganda Minister and Treasurer: 116–136 / 195
| Seat | Representative candidate | Category / country |
|---|---|---|
| President | Jenna Jameson | Porn Stars / USA |
| Vice President | Oprah Winfrey | TV Hosts / USA |
| General | Hulk Hogan | Wrestlers / USA |
| Propaganda Minister | Elon Musk | Billionaires / USA |
| Treasurer | Jay-Z | Rappers / USA |
Average role fit 45% · Specialist bonuses +8 · Coalition +0 · Authority multiplier 0.65 · Critical-seat deductions −0.
The range uses battlefield variance 0–20, followed by rounding and the 195-point cap. Displayed role fit is rounded; the engine uses the unrounded value.
That single swap lowers the minimum score by 23 points. Specialist bonuses change from +27 to +8; critical-seat deductions change from −0 to −0. Compare the role-fit values in the breakdown too. Country coverage and authority do not change.
These are two different complete drafts, not an undo available during play. With the same random variance, this comparison isolates the assignment decision; the score cap and rounding can still hide differences. Names are representatives of their pools, not individual skill ratings.
Playable analysis
Try the five-seat assignment puzzle
This practice board starts with round 1 as President, round 2 as Vice President, and so on. Change an appointment to swap its occupant with another seat. In a real draft, appointments lock; use this board to plan or review, not to edit a submitted run.
Your practice score: 105–125 / 195
Average role fit: 43%. Specialist bonuses: +8. Critical-seat deductions: −10. The range includes the game's minimum and maximum battlefield variance, rounding, and the 195 cap.
Another assignment raises the minimum score by 34 points. No practice result is submitted to the leaderboard.
Reveal the exhaustive comparison and an optimal assignment
All 120 seat permutations were evaluated with the same scoring engine used by the game. Their minimum-variance totals range from 90 to 139; 1 assignments tie for the best minimum score. The difference comes from role fit, specialist bonuses, and critical-seat deductions. Country coverage and authority remain fixed because every round contributes one candidate.

We use the first candidate from each pool as a representative: all three names share the same category and country, so their scores are identical in the standard rules. This is a full-information solution; it does not predict unseen Classic pools or guarantee a particular battlefield roll.
