Yet Another Traits Stellaris

Yet Another Traits Stellaris

=============================================================

This is a mod to really up the ante with traits in Stellaris, because traits acted as RNG/RPG/personality elements and made Crusader Kings 2 a lot of fun. I aim to improve both species traits and leader traits in Stellaris.

In contrast to other trait mods, I’ve tried to make a lot of traits INTERESTING and not “JUST NUMBERS”.

=============================================================

Updated for: 1.1.0 beta

TLDR features (with more on the way):

– 10 new species traits.
– 20 new leader traits.
– Leaders now start with MULTIPLE RANDOM traits! Gone are the boring days of a SINGLE trait!

Languages:
– English
– Français (translations by [FR] Dornata)

===========================

Mixed (generic) traits:
– Money on the Mind – This leader focuses on money and energy credits over research.
– Front Lines – This leader likes leading at the helm, at the cost of his life expectany.
– Progressive – Build buildings at a massive discount, but at the risk of ethics shifts!
