Terra Invicta: How to Select The Right Council Members 

Administration is a very useful stat as it allows you to use more organizations. Organizations can allow your councilors to be far more flexible than when you first get them, granting huge amounts of stats, new mission types and resource income (including boost!). Look especially for orgs that grant economy % and research % increases over flat money and research amounts as they will scale with your countries.

Some of the best traits: Striver, Quick Learner. Both make augments (aka bought +1 skill increases / traits) cheaper.

Admin is by far the most overpowered stat. It adds control point cap, allows orgs which can often add other stats at the same or even better rate than simply buying that same stat via level up AND it allows you to flexibly move stats around by re-equipping different orgs as the situation requires. If the player is not maxing admin first on all councillors as a matter of course then you have chosen to play suboptimally.

Personally i try to find a Diplomat, a Commando, a Professor, a Investigator and a Politician. The diplomat, professor and politician deal with national administration, while the commando and investigator do spec-ops (sometimes together).

Thanks for the video, building a good team is a struggle. If I could make one suggestion for your future videos it would be to have your voice louder than the in game voices as they tend to blend with your own and makes it harder to hear you clearly. Best of luck to you!

Government and Criminal are 2 important traits, they are mutually exclusive however. Government let's the councilor take agencies like CIA and Mossad and government research groups which sometimes give boost income. Criminal on the other hand let them gain crime syndicates like Yakuza, Triad, Cartels, Mafia, etc which not only give nice income but also add stats and give access to some missions. Pay attention to organizations that give administration bonus as well.

No mention of administration stat?

I am so glad I found your channel, I tried Terra Invicta but could not relate to what I was suppose to do, or click on and what effect clicking on a specific button will do or is suppose to do. Since you are going to do Beginning tutorials on this game I went ahead and picked it up.

Could you do a video of how to gain CP and how to steal a nation. Thanks the videos. You have short, clear and direct guides of terra Invicta

Thanks, very helpful on my first playthrough!

It's a shame that stats only effecting success rate, not the amount you gain when an ops is successful

new subscriber here, love your vids. fyi coup de tat is pronounced coo day tah ;)

Great info, but..."attributes" has the same "a" sound as "apple" and it's koo-day-tah.

I have a problem in that I am a serial restarter. In one early start I had an investigator/Detainer and a tycoon. I would investigate opposition councillers until I found ones with orgs that had admin cap. I would steal them and add them to my councillers both depriving my opponent of cap while adding to my own as well as cherry picking orgs that boosted my councillers so my hunter was max command, adviser was max admin and high research and persuader was also pimped out. The run would have been so powerful but I think I screwed up because I wanted to unify north america but it was taking too long. I was dumb to delete it I think this is a very powerful snowball strat as orgs give more points as well as more abilities. I think it is well worth trying out and making a vid on. Just be warned that if you focus on a particular faction they will get so mad with you that they declare war on a country. I had US and Mexico but didnt ally the 2 do servants attacked me with france. Cover you ass and ally your nations to protect them.

How can I switch my resources to show daily income instead of monthly? I would be really glad to know, thank You in advance!

Need to have the coup d'etat mission for the guy hunting alien fauna/flora and occasionaly stabilise my countries? Not needed. Ah well, as you said it comes down to specialisation. I'd disagree, persuasion might be important but it is admin that takes the cake. Orgs give the same or more points and can be swapped/specialised as needed. It is the one trait I like all my councilers to have a lot of, mid game aim is the maximum of 25 with orgs on all councilors to be specific. Then it comes down to their use... My first playthrough I went with the following: One persuasion speciallist: public campain, turn councilor, inspire (improves loyaltie, get your own councilors turned back) One investigation specialist: investigate (aliens, enemy councilors for bonus/enable other missions, own to look for turned), crack nation (mid game most important to get into a country), detain One espionage specialist: purge (that's how you get a country late game), assasinate (get of my country you damn servan councilor) One command specialist: assault enemy asset (alien flora... so much alien flora), stabilise nation (depending on target countrie very useful) The adviser: Max out admin, science with a bit added command when possible, only needs advise mission. A few percentages don't make a lot of diffrence early game, but mid game, advising say the USA, China, India or EU? 25% more science income you say? Ah, no don't forget about the boost to economy or add to military development. One trait I rate very high is quick lerner and the improved version striver. Tend to keep them long term so anyone with those traits that adds to leveling up merits a deep dive if you can use them. As for the initial rush, for your persuasion specialist look if the traits add their bonus in the countries you wish to take over and that they do have the control nation mission as a start. With the traits that give income, I'd argue they are more important early on, a consideration when you intend to exchange that particular councilor later. Speaking of this you may have noticed some traits have stronger forms (something linke affluent - wealthy - rich - billionaire or well known - famous) . An idea I'll try in my next playthrough is leveling a scientist specific in his field to get the big research bonus early. Mistake in my last was developing too quick and ignore the warning when killing every alien councilor I found.

Longer more in depth videos would be better
