Leader Academy

Because I got bored milling the leader pool, but wanted something a bit lore friendly for recruiting them.

The Leader Academy lets you recruit a leader with a selected starting trait and up to level 10, at vastly increasing cost.
It also lets you rehab leaders that have picked up negative traits.
The Leader academy building gives increasing number of trait picks, as well as increasing leader pool size and capacity.
The 4th tier Leader Academy allows recruiting of a random ethics matching paragon leader once a year (if your empire can recruit them normally)

To access the leader academy you need to research it from society tech, it appears after Planetary Unification. This will let you build the Academy building on your capital, which enables a planetary decision to recruit a new leader.
Recruited leaders cost at least double the usual Unity cost, and an amount of Energy Credits. The exact cost scales based on the skill of the leader you are hiring.

Accessing high level leaders requires an upgraded academy, techs for which appear in the society tech tree.

Hiring leaders at level 4+ (aka veterans) requires either that you have enacted the Capacity Boosters leader-enhancement policy or have the Polytechnic Education tradition from the Discovery tradition category.

Hiring leaders at levels 8, 9 and 10 (aka that have Destiny) requires the Transcendent Learning Ascension Perk, as well as 1 of Capacity Boosters or Polytechnic Education.

The energy cost multiplication for higher leader levels and multiple traits is diliberately ruinous. If you have any of the policy/AP picks that unlock additional leaders, all your leaders will also come with the Academy Graduate trait, for bonus XP gain.

It is primarily designed for Regular empires, but will also work for gestalts, though they have fewer options.

pkbsharks is a hero player and when I was burned out and couldn't face the 3.10 update and all the leader class changes, went and did it themselves and sent me the patch on git for everyone to enjoy.
