Default Re: Custom Advanced Traits

In each race's AI_General.txt, you have to make them choose that new trait.
You must add it three times, one for each amount of starting racial points.

If it is a zero-cost racial trait, be sure to call for it BEFORE the other traits are called for. As soon as the AI runs out of racial points, it quits, even though it could still afford a zero (or negative) cost trait.

If there are no traits being chosen by the AI (common for 2000 point games), then you must decrement one of the characteristics, so that it will have at least 1 racial point available when it looks at adding the advanced traits. Otherwise, again, it will quit immediately.

I have written a program to do the above automatically, along with some other changes.
I can tweak it for you; just give me the names of the traits you need the AIs to always choose.
