Politician strategy in 195-0 World Draft

Politicians are the flexible authority backbone of a cabinet. They can stabilise the President seat, remain useful as General, and protect the entire campaign from the missing-authority multiplier.

Draft plan

Decisions for this category

Decision 1

Prioritise President when a stronger Military Commander is available for General and a Billionaire is available for Treasurer.

Decision 2

Use a Politician as General when the pool offers no Military Commander or Dictator, and compare its normalized fit with the remaining options. Authority is covered in any seat; President does not need its own authority pick.

Decision 3

A Politician also receives the top Treasurer specialist bonus. If the other authority pick covers President, compare finance against General using the other four appointments. This can be useful in a pool sequence with no Billionaire.

Can political authority cover finance when there is no Billionaire?

This teaching cabinet uses representative candidates from the bundled pools. It is not today's Daily lineup. Compare the two complete cabinets below: only President and Treasurer exchange occupants, while the other three appointments, countries, and authority coverage stay fixed.

At zero battlefield variance, the first assignment scores 195 and the swapped assignment scores 195. The difference is 0 points after rounding and the score cap. Equal displayed scores can hide different component values; compare fit and bonuses before concluding that the appointments are equivalent.
