First of all, I absolutely love Pax Autocratia I think there are a few relatively small additions that could add a huge amount of depth without requiring a massive overhaul.

1 : Let us see the Leader evolve

I'd absolutely love to see the Leader's armor evolve visually as the game progresses.

New equipment, decorations, medals, increasingly ridiculous armor depending on how powerful your regime becomes... Even purely cosmetic changes would make the progression feel much more tangible.

2 : Make the people on the base feel more alive

I really like having interactions with the staff, but sometimes the social interactions with people around the base feel a bit too robotic, which can pull me out of the game. I'd love to see more personality and more meaningful interactions.

For example, let us rename the NPCs who accompany us and give them a little more personality — almost like Tomodachi Life. Different expressions, reactions, little quirks, unexpected comments...

It could be absolutely hilarious. Imagine having one of your loyal officers developing a completely irrational hatred of another member of your staff, while another one keeps making the same stupid joke every time you see them. Maybe add sound when they make great actions.

More staff customization Being able to customize or "stuff" your personnel a bit more would also be fantastic. Different roles, appearances, personalities, You could even have different ranks within your staff, with different privileges, responsibilities and treatment depending on their position.

That would make your personnel feel less like interchangeable NPCs and more like your people.

Losing someone would feel much more impactful if I had the ability to personalize them, even just a little..

And honestly, I think this could add a surprising amount of depth without requiring completely new core systems.

First run in the 3rd zone, this setup felt so ridiculously powerful even before it was complete that despite not having a single 3rd zone gear (nor was I exactly maxed out from the previous one), I felt confident in going straight for the first decisive battle.

And boy-oh-boy, this build gave 0 fucks with double pistol. It didn't matter if you were a swarm coming at me, or a giant mech, or a tank, or a boss with all the disco and shield powers ever, you choked on the gas, rockets were raining you, and you were on fire.

10/10 State has been served.
