Traitors
This mod rebalances the vanilla traits and adds a lot of new balanced traits (33). It also sets the amount of traits that can be picked to six instead of the normal four, which increase the number of choices when creating a new species. Many of the reworked vanilla traits and new traits are mutually exclusive to prevent stacking of bonuses.
Substantial changes have also been made to ethics and government types. Efforts have been made to balance these in accordance with the trait changes. The goal is to provide a more fun and interesting game experience. Instead of the normal three ethics, players are now allowed to choose four, making it possible to be both fanatic militarist and fanatic xenophobe for example. What a combination, eh?!
For those who only want the new traits can subscribe to the traits only mod, Traitors light: steam://openurl/http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=704016024
