I guess we are still lacking the stars, ie how good they are supposed to be
Thats one characteristic we have seen so far.. wonder if there are others? Like events tied to specific advisors?

Nice. Hope they use lists like this.

 

[Tunch Khan]

The list currently has 74 Advisors, 50 Generals, 18 Admirals and 11 Rebel Leaders. That is 153 historical figures with birth and death dates and brief career descriptions. If I can get a hold of what Paradox is going to use as the format for advisors, I can start compiling the required information and pictures.
