Another Leader Traits Mod

Refactoring and unification of leader traits. Actualisation of worst samples and rejected counselors. New unique effects.


This mods aims to actualize and balance existing Leader Traits. Adds minor amount of new traits, revises existing leader traits, attempts to give a second breath to demoted counselors and actualize weak and otherwise useless traits.

• All existing Leader Traits sorted, repacked, restructured and codewise unified.
  
• All destiny-grade traits of your Counselors will have some effect outside of the Council. One way or another.
  
• Most of the initial (chosen at empire creation screen) Counselor traits also can be used outside of the Council.
  
• Shared veteran-grade traits improved and actualized, especially Adventurous Spirit.
  
• New negative traits added, one negative trait can be picked at empire creation screen increasing initial Ruler trait picks by +1. (will be reworked soon TM).
  
• New traits: The Paragon, Aspiring, Union Preacher, Ambusher, Crouching Tiger, Science Patron and Philantropist.
  
• Official subclasses Ambassador and Delegate merged into single subclass Diplomat with 15 class traits. Diplomats can pull double duty as Counselors OR as GalCom / Federation Representatives.
  
• Leader pool increased up to 4, leader level cap increased to 12.
  
• Base number of trait picks increased up to 4. Trait picks given each second level.
  
• Max trait level reduced to 1 for cadet traits, to 2 for veteran traits, stats adjusted.

All leader trait files are null, mixed trait files are overwriten, leader traits exluded from those files. Leader traits sorted and repacked in orderly manner.

The very idea of making two diplomatic subclasses was horrible mistake. Most of resulting "subclass" traits where even worse. I took things into my hands to rectify those mistakes.
And I want to say that combing trough all the vanilla systemless unstandartised junk was a tedious task and awful expirience, I hope I wouldnt need to do it ever again. Overwrite limitations also aren't helpful.
In the future I hope to improve and polish this mod to provide better balance and expirience.
