Has Anyone ever successfully added a new Racial Trait?

[Marty Ward]

I finally was able to add the Pirate trait to my game and add existing races. Here's how.
Add the racial trait to the racial trait file.
Created a new race.
Let the computer add large amout of players to the game.
Start the game and change all players to human control.
Saved each race to file and gave it a unique name to it, my Phong race was saved as Phong Pirates.
The saved race has all the same charastics as the original race based on the point level of the game. I was able to manually add any of the saved races to a new game.
When I removed the Pirate trait from the trait file I was unable to add races saved when the Pirate trait was installed.
It seems to me that the traits are stored in the .emp file and if a one is added or removed you cannot add any existing race that does not have the exact traits stored in their .emp file.
