AI_General problem...

I assume you're building the Space Monsters with SE IV Version 1.41? There was a bug with using negative characteristics in AI_General.txt in the earliest Versions, but that was supposedly fixed a couple patches ago.

Negative characteristics ? Probably not what you meant, but how about adding racial traits that you get PAID to select! For example I noticed that you can in Racial Traits have required and restricted traits tied to another one. But nobody uses this yet. Has it ever been tested and seen to work ? If it works then I can think of some neat ones for new races who live in my nexus maps.

LCC, I tried what you suggested... I made all the racial trait costs (before specials)add up to 5K instead of the original 4K... still same problem.

As for required/restricted tags... they don't work (at least up to 1.35)

And for neg. values not working... well they do now, since the General file will set the values to negative amounts & it gets the extra points to spend.

Poor wording on my part. I meant characteristics of less than 100, which are effectively worth negative racial points.
