Minimalist Leaders

My mod to deal with the leader scarcity while preserving the quality and individuality of leaders from the new leader system in Stellaris 3.8.

Leaders with this trait will be unable to gain new traits from leveling up including destiny and veteran traits. The leaders however will be able to gain and level up traits added via events. Additionally, starting traits such as cyborg, synthetic, and psionic will be added to the leader.

Empires are given an additional two leaders in every leader pool category to choose from, and two will always have the minimalist trait. No others will.

I have not given any priority or hire logic to these leaders for the AI, and thus this mod will likely hinder the AI sightly. I plan to address this eventually.

Notes for modders:

Vanilla Items Overwritten:
game rule: can_leader_get_council_trait
game rule: can_leader_get_subclass_trait
game rule: can_leader_get_destiny_trait
event paragon_2.1145

The mod adds a country modifier that increases the leader pool size to not interfere with any changes from other mods.
