Starting with base BI 1.6,
I added to following lines to export_descr_character_traits:


Trait ExperiencedBodyguards
Characters family
NoGoingBackLevel 3

Level Superior_Bodyguards
Description Superior_Bodyguards_desc
EffectsDescription Superior_Bodyguards_effects_desc
Threshold 1

Effect BodyguardValour 2

Level Elite_Bodyguards

EffectsDescription Elite_Bodyguards_effects_desc
Threshold 2

Effect BodyguardValour 3

Level Royal_Guard
Description Royal_Guard_desc
EffectsDescription Royal_Guard_effects_desc
Threshold 3

Effect BodyguardValour 4

I created a single trigger in random_birth2 in the same file like so:

Trigger random_birth2
WhenToTest CharacterComesOfAge


Affects Anger 1 Chance 2
Affects Hypochondriac 1 Chance 5
Affects GoodSiegeDefender 1 Chance 5
Affects ExperiencedBodyguards 1 Chance 100

I then added these lines to the bottom of the
export_descr_VnVs_enums:

Superior_Bodyguards
Superior_Bodyguards_desc
Superior_Bodyguards_effects_desc
Elite_Bodyguards
Elite_Bodyguards_desc
Elite_Bodyguards_effects_desc
Royal_Guard
Royal_Guard_desc
Royal_Guard_effects_desc

Finally, I added these lines to the bottom of export_VnVs.txt

Symptoms of wrongdoing are that I crash to desktop when I attempt to look at any general's traits.

If I play enough turns without looking at a general's trait, I see a general get born and his unit card has the appropriate amount of xp on his unit card, but i still CTD if I look at the general's traits. ATV-TW finds no errors and the lordz trait editor read them fine. I am stumped. Any of you experienced modders seen this before?
