[Outdated] Leader Overhaul v1.4.5 for Stellaris v2.0

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

What does this mod do?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Leader Overhaul [LO] improves the default Stellaris leaders by making them vastly more diverse.
- LO accomplishes this by adding new traits as well as two new types of traits--flaws and quirks.
- - Flaws are negative traits that give a leader +1 trait point.
- - Quirks are both positive and negative traits that cost 0 trait points.
- - A leader that generates with a flaw cannot have a quirk and vice versa.
- LO currently adds 50 new traits, 36 new flaws, and 24 new quirks. It also enables 2 in-game flaws to work this way as well.
- In addition, LO changes the way scientist leaders are generated. No longer will surveying scientists learn research traits when leveling up (and vice versa). This, in effect, creates two distinct types of scientists--surveyors and researchers.
- Lastly, LO improves the level-up script by adding most of these traits (and some of the flaws) into the script. This allows leaders to gain LO traits even after they've been in your empire a while. It also allows 'researchers' to learn skills upon level-up (which is not enabled in default Stellaris).
