Leader Personality Agendas?

[MojaveDreams]

I think our leaders should have agendas for there personalities similar to estates. Give one every 5 years or so harder than estate missions.

there could be invasion missions, developing missions, trade power wars, rival wars, the list is endless!

Our rulers would be more than numbers and cool names.

Imagine your 2/1/2 ruler has a mission to secure trade power in a node which involves trade wars and your reward would be your ruler earning points to his skills? You could make your leaders successful not just born great.

Republics may need something different with the short election times but I feel this would bring leaders alive. The mechanics are already there with estates

You know, this sounds really cool in my opinion. Leaders right now *are* quite static. The issue is is that I think these shouldn't be present for all leaders.

As far as I know, IRL rulers seem to be preoccupied with a combination of four things: enjoyment (spending their days enjoying all the privileges of being rulers, like the Emperors of Japan), survival (trying to not get assassinated or usurped), patronage (doing art and sciences, basically internal development), and expansion (think Timur). Sometimes the last two go together.

So I think honestly agendas shouldn't be available to rulers that would be busy enjoying their rule (probably low monarch skill rulers), since I interpret ruler agendas as their personal ambitions.
