I propose a category of Minor Leaders below regular Leaders. They will fill vacant command slots with a one time Unity cost on recruitment, increased based on total Leaders, with a flat upkeep.
They do not count towards the cap, so there is no penalty increasing upkeep or reducing XP to having them. However, they have a low level cap and thus generate less bonuses and have fewer traits, all of which are auto-selected.
A particularly useful Minor Leader can be promoted to a full Leader, either via event like Cold Hard Potential, or for another Unity payment.
Captain for Admiral
Administrator for Governor
Researcher for Scientist
Colonel for General
