Select Starting Leader Traits
Have you ever felt disappointed that you can’t select leader traits at start for leaders other than your ruler, and that you are the sheer whim of RNG if you want leaders to have specific traits of your choosing? The solution to your problems has arrived in the form of Select Starting Leader Traits, or SSLT for short.
This mod allows you to select leader traits and ethics for all your leaders at the start, including nodes if you are playing a gestalt empire. You’re allowed to pick any trait that your leader could hypothetically start with at the beginning of the game, allowing you do fun things like stack Charisma across your entire council for that juicy Edict Fund and negative Edict Upkeep stacking.
You can also stack expertises if you are playing Technocracy.
If you think I’ve missed any edge cases or leader traits, feel free to inform me and I’ll update the mod.
Not compatible with any mod that modifies leader_events_2.txt in the events folder, because that file allows you to pick the leader class and traits of your heir when they spawn.
This mod’s code is taken directly from my soft overhaul mod for Stellaris, Brave New World, which can be found here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3234687671
The Brave New World mod also includes other tools like a planetary automation tool that also fixes AI planetary management, which I may separately release in another mod in the future.
