[Outdated] Base Leader Capacity Adjustments - 9

Basic information
This mod does one thing, but it does it well, it adjusts base leader capacity from 6 to 9, a 1.5x increase.

Compatibility
Only use one version at a time. Since this mod makes one tiny adjustment load order does not matter so just follow convention mod sorting recommendations.

Alternate Versions
Base Leader Capacity Adjustments - 9 (YOU ARE HERE)
Base Leader Capacity Adjustments - 12
Base Leader Capacity Adjustments - 30
Base Leader Capacity Adjustments - 60

Detailed Information
With the update to Stellaris 3.8 Gemini, the developers introduced a soft cap on leaders. Once you exceed the cap you incur an increasing penalty on leader upkeep given by this equation:

Leader upkeep = (base leader upkeep) * ((leaders hired) / (leader capacity) – 1)

By using this mod or any of its alternate versions you increase the base leader capacity and the soft cap. Additionally with a larger base leader capacity the penalty for exceeding the soft cap is decreased per leader.

For example, if you have 12 leaders with a leader capacity of 6 you incur a 100% upkeep penalty but if your leader capacity is 9 you incur a 33% upkeep penalty.

FAQ
Q: Is the number static, or will it raise when I get +1 leaders?
A: This mod adjusts the base leader capacity so if you take anything that increases capacity, it will increase.

Q: Can I run add/remove this mod from an existing save?
A: Yes, but doing so could effect you leader upkeep so keep that in mind.
