[bug] sovereigns and faction traits

from Elemental Forums

 

My custom sovereign does not gain the benefit of faction traits.

 

 

Intuitively I thought she would.

 

But the slave girl does.

 

Why would sovereigns not get their factional bonuses, since they are of those factions?

The tooltips for both these traits (and others) say 'all units get' so either way is excusable.

But this should be consistent.

Stuff realism, if it's a problem, but let's get the gameplay right.

Not sure ...

But I get double advantage from a weakness if I use it as both my Civic weakness and my Sovereign weakness ;)

The "slave girl" gets it because she has it as one of her traits.

The question is how she gets it as one of her traits. 

She can't take Enduring as a (sovereign) talent.  Check the sovereign creation screen.  It may be some sort of leftover from earlier versions of the game but it is misleading as the trait only (now, at least) appears as a faction trait. 

If traits are gained by belonging to a faction (as it logically seems they should be) then my sovereign should have 'lucky' as the Eholdn (my custom faction) are lucky and she is an Eholdn.

The question remains why custom (and some other) sovereigns (and only these of all characters) do not gain the traits of the factions that they belong to.  And they have to belong to that faction to be its leader...

Core Sovereigns are "hand made", which may include access to traits that custom Sovereigns may not use. Irane has Enduring because she has the proper <SelectedAbilityBonusOption>Enduring</SelectedAbilityBonusOption> in the XML.

There seems to be a differentiation between Sovereigns and Factions. Intended? Bound to change? No idea.

there is a bug in our system for custom sovereigns not getting their proper race applied on creation.  I think this is causing what you are seeing, should be fixed next patch.
