Makes sense.

My idea of council was one member from each division and the monarch. In a previous Virtual Kingdom there's an outline for various departments:

Diplomacy
Intel
Global strategy/outlook
Kingdom strategy
Elliptical Wave Coordinator
Commerce

Part of the intel system is each province is responsible for Snatch News on a specific kingdom. This can change depending on priorities.

The Eliptical Wave Coordinator provides general wave guidance and deeper micro for divisions that may require expertise in achieving various tactical objectives. It involves maximizing time and effect through orbital efficiency. This isn't just a war time responsibility as it involves monitoring offensive and defensive variables throughout the age.

While some departments may appear daunting in their scope it's important to remember that each division functions semi-independently. This relieves leadership pressure through delegating best case scenarios to the divisions and their ability to adapt in real time. Assistance is provided for divisions who may be falling short of objectives.
