Yet Another Traits Mod

Warning: Not up to date since 1.1.0 (and will not be updated)!

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

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)

===========================
======= CHANGELOG ========
===========================

== Update June 3 ==

Added French localization. Thanks to [FR] Dornata for the translations!

== Update May 12 ==
- Sloth - Growth required time from 20% to 25%, minerals from -80% to -50%, energy from -80% to -50%
- Governor trait Empire Builder did not work and was replaced
- Fair Treatment - People are a little happier and less likely to develop new ethics under this governor

== Update May 11, 2016 ==

- Dynamic Leaders changed from 4 to 6

Ruler traits:
- Secret Society - Gain even more influence than deep connections with your ruler's secret society.
- Inspirational - Your brilliant leader inspires everyone to think of more ideas when researching!
- Diplomancer - Ruthlessly efficient at diplomacy, you can handle more diplomatic relations.
- Leader of Leaders - Superior management allows you to handle more leaders.
- Swagger - This leader is able to push out the boundaries of your systems!

Governor traits:
- Immigration Focused - Gain more diversity, because this governor loves inviting migrants.
- Spy Network - This governor allows the planet a bigger scan range.
- Greedy - Focusing on material gains, this governor will leave your people rather unhappy.
- Machinist - Super effective robot usage at the cost of slave efficiency.
- [REMOVED] Empire Builder - Cheaper colony ships and faster colony developments.

Scientist traits:
- Interstellar Investigator - Well-studied and wizened, but good at all things anomaly-related.
- Interstellar Surveyor - Well-studied and wizened, but good at every step in the surveying process.
- Rocket Scientist - Effective at all rocket related things.
- Wizard - Studies the almost mystical sciences, but has a strangely long lifespan.
- Futurist - Practical but future-oriented scientist.

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!
- Young Flame - This leader climbs quickly but dies young.
- Meditations - A routine of meditation ensures a long life and a little extra research.

== Update May 10, 2016 ==

- Careless - Your people are more happy but worse at research and mining minerals.
- Natural Leaders - Cheaper leaders.

- Inept Leaders - More expensive leaders.
- Sloth - Huge boost to growth and food, huge penalty to mining and credits (too much physical labor).
- Minor Teleportation - Instant migrations at further reduced costs.
- Young Death - Shorter leader lives, less research as well.
- Slave Traders - Significant penalty without slaves, slight energy cred boost.
- Unethical Tactics - Better armies, but your people really think about your actions.
