This dev diary actually goes beyond what just the title implies - they are not only doing some neat experiments with leaders (which, while I generally like the system they drew up for the leader rework a while ago, it had some glaring flaws that they seem to be addressing (looking at you, Generals)) but also sharing some tweaks they’re making to other stuff, like the origins that let you start off in a federation/hegemony. Making those origins not gimp you by spreading out your starting compatriots will be very nice.
