[1.02] Random traits for AI Sovereigns?

from Elemental Forums

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone knows what this means exactly.  In the 1.02 change log under AI:

"Player created sovereigns get random traits based on their race when played by the AI"

I don't see what this is doing, anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

It was referring to the traits chosen by each AI at the start of games. Previously they were 100% random which gave odd results sometimes  - an AI could have one trait to make it focus on warfare, then another to make it focus on magic. Or one that made them peaceful, and another that made them aggressive.

Now, custom sovereigns will inherit a selection of reasonable AI traits from the race they were created from.

Thanks for the info, Heavenfall.

Ah right I see, it's the AI traits / AI personality traits like "Expansionist", "Greedy", "Paranoid" etc under Leader Details in the Foreign Relations section that are (semi) randomized.   I get it.  I thought it was referring to the talents that a sovereign has (which would have been weird if they were randomized).

Cool, thanks.
