i've always wanted to know, how exactly do you go about editing the traits in a way that the AI wont have it? the description says "pause the game" but i dont know exactly what type of pausing you mean, and when, and where. could you give me a step by step (or is this something that is done ingame, not at race creation?
I think he mean when you Reform Government in the game(not race creation). If you don't pause the game, but let it run, then other races can Reform Government too, because the settings from the table will effect their race too if you race the amount of Civic trait points.
But if you pause, raise the values in the table, reform your government, and lower the values in the table back(in the table) to what they was original, and first then unpause, then the AI will have no time to Reform their government when the values was high.
Exactly this, pause the game before editing ingame and revert the values to their original state before unpausing. The AI makes decisions once a day so if the day doesn't switch they can't act. Another possible solution is to disable the AI for a while.
I'll try clarifying the hints in the table starting from next release.
Oh good to know thank you! All you need to do to clarify CD is remove "race creation" and change it to "in-game race editing" or something like that
thanks!
another question - what's the point of having console enabled in ironman? just wondering i thought maybe it was for achievs but that doesnt seem to work, huh

I'm fairly sure that the achievements are just outright broken in this version.
Not had any of them trigger with or without the table, old and new achievements included.
Edit: Yeah, they've confirmed that the achievements are currently broken, that they won't be fixed in the 1.5.1 hotfix and that it's likely to not be fixed until next week.

The point of ironman console is the possibility to use the various built in cheats which may not necessarily be present in the table . With a simple cheat you can instantly populate your planet, make everyone happy, give yourself warscore and so on. And achievments do seem to be broken so it is not related; you can't even enter a console command with ironman mode normally so it cannot break your achievments.

that's kind of my point though, using the console with this on nulls any achievements, so why play with ironman on to begin with? i use the console plenty, but if im not trying to get achievements i don't play in ironman :p
edit: ah, the achievements are broken alltogether - nevermind :p
One question: is there a way, to edit my race at startup (race creation). I think, this was once possible...
Yes, you can use CD's table, and use his settings to edit the creation. BUT!!: After you are done creating the race, and you get into the world creating sceen(where you can set opponents, world size etc), then remember to lower all the values in the table down to the standard level, BEFORE you start the game.
If you don't then you end up like I did in my first game, with a fallen empire with 5 civic picks, 8 traits and 4 ethnic traits .... Because some of the races get generated based on the values you can edit with the table.

I'll put a clear warning under this option in the next version of my extension. I noticed a lot of people leaving the settings on.
Your cheat tables are easier to use than cheat systems you have to pay for, you listen and try to help if something is wrong with it and you keep them extremely up to date.
The quality of the tables are borderline professional and you don't make us pay. The least we can do is help out and gift you dlc, especially if you then use that to continue your tables.
