That'd bloat up the action list, and likely break the quest balance. Durin shot this idea down before, IIRC.

Our education system has been falling behind and is a key place to gain economic power.

We generally have enough actions to do the military and orbital we need to do. we also increase health, efficiency, and education every few decades. We are always needing extra admin actions. there are always cities to be built and improved.

Honest curiosity, why do you think the respected professor who lives on Avernus has a low combat score? Would a nat 1 combat survive on Avernus, what is too low C to survive on Avernus?

Low C is very much relative. I'm sure he's quite deadly, but I think 35 is the magic number for probly not going to die. That's pretty high for a non martial charcter. there is a reason we go through so many administrators. I'm sure he'll survie for decades, but i'd be suprised if he's still kicking 100 years from now.

whyt on earth do you expect anyone to be low C?

Thaddeus had 39 total combat score only to get shanked by a deamon. Henry C 28. Edvin C 33. Signe has C 31. Drago C 33.
Even C 40 isn't utter safety. Still, durin seems to have a min of C 25 total if you live on Avernus. However this is the best of Avernus humans, we should expect all candidate for Thaddeus position who live on Avernus to have 30 something C.

Relatively low C. Still high, but lower than most of our other advisors.
But even if I'm wrongl about the life span, we are resource restraind as much as we are action restrained so I'd still vote for pop growth and edu.

Edit: Now that we have started to increase the number of Forge Hives in the moons, we need to help Scott with the Expansion or she will have no time left for other projects.

But making new hives slows down the current hives growth on the moons so we wont be building many of them for now is the plan by the main planmakers i think since the pop for mech forges come from the other forges for the most part. Since the highest level forges make the am/Em production alot more worth it than just having alot of smaller ones instead . When we start hitting the point that we cant max out forge upgrades then building new hives start making sense but not before.
Probably still will vote proffesor but would like the admin stats please.
And assitant is already exploiting our own actions abit so please lets not annoy durin with asking for more.

[X] Professor Antoni Kovac
Just sitting in his study, writing his next treatise on educational models, when a Blink Spider appears.
Doesn't even notice it. Just gets up, goes to a stack of books on the other side of the room...
... and when the spider lunges, he stabs it with his ridiculously long fountain pen, which promptly releases explosive payload into spider's innards.
This pen is really not handy, but who can bother with switching to knives or guns when you arleady have a pen in hand? Basic ergonomics, really!
... Except now he has to switch it to a new one, again. It costs a small fortune to have a stockpile ready.
Hopefully being Governor's assistant will cover some of those costs...
I am now imagining an absent-minded professor with 30+C.

What if Professor Antoni Kovac is Commissar Dalve Sepet?

If the professor wins, they'll be the first Avernite civilian on the council. The fact they are the only civilian to qualify...
Dalve Sepet's stats
What if Delve Sepet is Professor Antoni Kovac? 370 years is enough time to develop a secret identity focused on education, health, and be well respected, as a backdoor to enter the palace security. Or as a self imposed challenge.
Here is an omake based on the idea Professor Antoni Kovac is an identity Sepet has cultivated.
What if Professor Antoni Kovac is Commissar Dalve Sepet?
Dalve Sepet eyed the document with a great deal of skepticism. The last time he had come in for teaching work was fifty-four years ago. What a disaster, the class was surprised at the hike through Avernus's woods he made them do. Surprised that a teacher would drag them out to face the real world without any precautions, or were they surprised that the board review had confirmed that field trips are mandatory parts of the Avernite learning curriculum? The Avernus Board of Education was usually efficient to notice when their teachers died of natural causes, or could be infiltrators.
Dalve Sepet was not an infiltrator, or dead of natural causes. Dalve Sepet is a member of the Phase Tigers, a most respected regiment among the Avernus Elite. In his younger days he would occasionally test the defenses of the Governor's palace. In and out in under 5 hours back then. Now, Dalve Sepet can get in and out in under 1 minute. Far too easy on the best of days, which is why he handicapped himself in the early days. One way he handicapped himself, was to enter the Palace under a forged psdeo-identity.
Professor Antoni Kovac, a born and bred Avernite, far too good to be a real person. Should never have stood up against scrutiny. Never have been allowed to remain a teacher by never attending his own scheduled, paid for, lessons. Most of all, the paperwork shouldn't have iron clad contract approval for a thousand years by the Avernite Administration.
Then Mittens recently arrived to him with a message from the Avernus Board of Education to Professor Antoni Kovac, congratulating the good Professor on the nomination to become the Governor's aid.
"This is your fault," Sepet stared into the Phase-Tiger.
"Mrowwww?" tiger eyes stared back into the abyss. Mittens licked his fur.
"My class was going great until you showed up. Gave Antoni too much popularity to have you personally guard the one class he ever taught. The humans were better than you anyway. I could hear you breathing, what cat doesn't know violet bark from their ash bark?" Sepet intensified his stare into the eyes of Mittens.
"Meow," apologized Mittens.
"Worse, you've been doing Antoni's paperwork, cause I haven't. How else could I possibly have been cleared for teaching duty?"
"Mreow."
Sepet blinked at Mittens answer. The fact that the administration knew he really is Antoni, and that Antoni had written a few well-repected papers that were still treasured today. Heavily contributed to the second document Mittens pulled out from behind a carniflower. This one addressed for Commisar Dalve Sepet, stating the Administratum is understanding that if he wants to retire from the Phase Tigers to fully relax from a stressful infiltration test mission he just needs to sign.
"Meeeeeow," Mittens nodded in perfect understanding that sometimes an human takes on too much to do. Sepet would find it impossible to pull two jobs at the same time under different identitiy's. Xavier was going to owe Mittens an ocean of meat for this bet.
"Tell the Oakhearts, and the rest whom gambled. Challenge accepted," Antoni and Sepet glared into the eyes of the Phase-Tiger named Mittens.
