We're about to start Kingmaker (we've played the BB to get our feet wet with PF2e) and I'm just curious if folks have any guidance for having 6 players when we get to the Kingdom stage of things. Do you still only take on four leadership roles? Limit the number of Leadership activities?
Encounters etc. I can modify as needed (thanks to PF2e having a system that works) but I have some concerns about the impact of a larger group on the Kingdom side.

The Adventure Path actually mentions the possibility of having more than eight (8!) PCs, in one specific rule. If memory serves, this mention is when discussing filling out the kingdom's leadership roles.

Aha...I glanced over that. So it appears that you can have more than 4 roles but only invest in four.

Step 7, Choose leaders
1st paragraph
"Every kingdom needs leaders, and in Kingmaker, the assumption is that those leaders include the PCs (though if the party has more than eight PCs, not all PCs will have leadership roles) (...)"
With this we know that we can have all 8 of the roles can be filled with PCs.
3rd paragraph
"Next, choose four leadership roles to invest"
The limit of 4 is to assign invested roles. You can have up to 8 invested roles, but then you have to choose the right NPC to each kingdom role, as them can auto invest when chosen.
So now you have to choose if you want the extra proficiency for having NPC investing in a kingdom role or extra leadership actions for having PCs.

I read those as two separate things. The Leadership roles which allow for certain activities/actions and Investing which AFAIK is only done at the start of the Kingdome and is the four roles the Kingdom views as most important (i.e. determining skills).
