In your opinion, which sovereigns have the toughest decision as to which path to purse? I'd imagine that some of them are really 50/50 between two, as to which is the optimal choice. I'm glad to see that every category appears at least twice (defender) on your list.

I guess when they created the new leaders dlc, the idea was that the new alternative sovereigns for each faction would have a different optimal specialization choice than the original sovereign (for that faction).

I've been reading through the various parts of your XtraDeconstruct Mod. It looks excellent! I plan on using certain parts of it at first; then to gradually begin using more. Because I have fairly little experience with the base game, I think I'd be somewhat overwhelmed if I started using all the additions at once. For now, I'm more interested in using the improvements to base features (such as diplomacy and difficulty levels), than all the additions (such as the new equipment... that looks like a whole lot!) -though later I'll play with those as well.

Thanks for making a game I really enjoy even better.
