What I am saying is that if the trait is added to give the AI a bonus in whatever method he chooses, and he addes this to the General.txt it will also be added to ALL emp files. That means if you select an EMP file for your race, you will automatically have this trait. - Unless, he includes EMP files that do not have the trait, but that would be confusing as all hell.
I think he names them Race 2k 3k 5k, he could name them Race AI 2k 3k 5k. This way the player would know that the AI has the built in ability and the other does not. But like I said someone will not read something, and get all confused.
