Hi there,

I don't know if this is a bug - but when I make a custom race I can set the Natural and Economic abilities of that race. This is very cool (even though I think that it should be set on the difficulty page, and not the race abilities page), and allows me to put an AI at a high intelligence, with a financial handicap.

However, when I set the levels, say +30 natural abilities and +30 Financial abilities, then I save the custom race, and go back and edit the custom race, the levels are all over the place. I suspect it has to do with the difficulty level trumping my values, but if this is the case why have the natural and financial abilities in the custom race screen? How do I get the race to play at my +30 natural abilities and +30 Financial penalty?

PS - Making custom races is GREAT! I made all the Master of Orion Races (though it would be nice to be able to apply racial penalties, and not have to select a Super ability for more Racial ability pics, assuming that higher levels of Research/Production/Population Growth etc abilities were available)
