Leader Overhaul For Stellaris

Leader Overhaul For Stellaris

Leader Overhaul v1.3.5 for Stellaris v1.6.2 – Change Log
========================================

What does this mod do?
———————————————————————-
– Leader Overhaul [LO] improves the default Stellaris leaders by making them vastly more diverse.
– LO accomplishes this by adding new traits as well as two new types of traits–flaws and quirks.
– – Flaws are negative traits that give a leader +1 trait point.
– – Quirks are both positive and negative traits that cost 0 trait points.
– – A leader that generates with a flaw cannot have a quirk and vice versa.
– LO currently adds 50 new traits, 36 new flaws, and 24 new quirks. It also enables 2 in-game flaws to work this way as well.
– LO also adds 1 army attachment called General’s Retinue. It doubles the army’s health and morale, but halves their damage and morale damage. This is an attempt to keep your generals alive by simulating that they’re staying ‘out of the battle’ as much as possible.
– In addition, LO changes the way scientist leaders are generated. No longer will surveying scientists learn research traits when leveling up (and vice versa). This, in effect, creates two distinct types of scientists–surveyors and researchers.
– Lastly, LO improves the level-up script by adding most of these traits (and some of the flaws) into the script. This allows leaders to gain LO traits even after they’ve been in your empire a while. It also allows ‘researchers’ to learn skills upon level-up (which is not enabled in default Stellaris).
