[Outdated] Base Leader Capacity Adjustments - 60

In 1 collection by ShieldsOfFire
Base Leader Cap Adjustments
4 items
Description
Basic information
This mod does one thing, but it does it well, it adjusts base leader capacity from 6 to 60, a 10x 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
Base Leader Capacity Adjustments - 12
Base Leader Capacity Adjustments - 30
Base Leader Capacity Adjustments - 60 (YOU ARE HERE)

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.

Hi! Thanks for this mod! I like to play Stellaris in my own casual way (=very relaxing, with cheats :-P) and the cap limit in 3.8 kind of broke my way of playing. Thanks to this mod I don't have to uninstall the game. :-) :steamthumbsup:

The introduction of leader capacity does affect how people play so many people will have to change how many leaders they hire. Everyone is currently experiencing the graphic bug. It does get quite annoying, but I’ve slowly grown to ignore it though and I’m sure it will be fixed soon. You can actually roll back your game to a previous version if you go to you steam library > stellaris > manage > properties > betas and select the version you want to play with.

No problem! I wouldn’t necessarily say the developers screwed up although the change is controversial but I think the feature could use some tweaking by either increasing the default base leader capacity and/or by adjusting the calculation for upkeep.

Hi!
Fedral got a good point cause (late in the game), I usually have one scientist for planet, at least 8/10 Sectors, 4 Envoy and 20 Fleets? So I had 92 Leaders and now I can't handle the Unity loss.
I like to have a lot of Leaders with differents skills and I don't understand this new way to limit them. It's also more complicated to see thier own skills... if they have...
The rest of the upgrade is pretty good, but there's a graphic bug cause my game starts to have problems when I click on the Icons on the top left of the screen, cause when you do it, the position on the map starts to blip on the screen and they never stop and I have to save the game and reload it...
A question for you mates... If I don't like the update could I not play with it?

Thanks

Have a nice weekend

Thank you for making this, as usual, modders come to fix what the devs screw up.
Fedral 10 May, 2023 @ 7:34pm 
Yeah, I'll probably play with the lower one in the future, but my big save I was 43 leaders deep, and that made the game unplayable. I just want to finish this game until I learn to play all over again. Once again, thanks.

@Fedral
Yeah, no problem! I’m sure the upkeep penalty for having many leaders is a shock to old saves. My main inspiration for creating these mods was to buffer the early game a little bit. I personally like the 12 base leader capacity for that reason.

Thank you SO much for doing this so quickly. You made my saved games playable again. You are an absolute Rock Star. So appreciated.
