Head of State/government minister traits, Could a Moderator put into FAQ?
Hey, I really liked the minister FAQ in HOI, and it seems accurate for HOI2 but the new personalities for Head of State and Government need a new one. I used this list from Cluthu's post, but I could have looked up the info in the text. Regardless, thanks Cluthu, I hope your not mad for using it. I did however, add the specific stats and that was time consuming. I can't post in the FAQs, so could a moderator move this into there. Feel free to reneame the threat and delete this paragraph, but I've been wainting so long for this Faq I figured I'd better do it myself rather than ask someone else to do it. Hope I've made myself useful.
