Modus Vivendi: More Ruler Personalities

This mod increases the max number of ruler personality traits to 5 and adds 67 more Ruler Personalities to the game, as well as a few events related to the personalities.

Each personality will now be gained every ten years after the first one, unlike every 15 in vanilla.

_______________________________________________

These personalities are more complex than base personalities.

Many of them have both positive and negative aspects. This results in good, bad and neutral personality types; good personalities lean towards the positive, bad personalities lean towards the negative, while neutral is a balance of good and bad modifiers. Very good personalities such as Prodigy are also much less likely to appear.

These personalities will also affect AI behavior.

For example, a ruler with the Ambitious personality will declare war against enemies with equal military strength more often and wants neighboring land; however, an Ambitious ruler is less likely to be helped by other AI, as they fear that the Ambitious ruler will turn into a potential future threat and destroy the balance of power.

On the other hand, a Two-Faced ruler will be much more likely to sent gifts of goodwill to foreign nations, but will also have no issue with betraying them should an opportunity present itself.

***NOTE: The DLC 'Rights of Man' MUST be used alongside this mod. No other DLC or mod is required.

***The mod should be compatible with all other mods as long as Rights of Man is enabled. It is confirmed that it works with the mods Extended Timeline and Better Nation Designer and unlimited points (1.28)

***The personalities can also be used in Custom Nations.

A "Lite" version of the mod has been uploaded with only the standard max of 3 ruler personalities:
