[bug] Custom faction with Powerful trait gains no bonuses

from Elemental Forums

To test this out, I created one custom Altarian faction with no faction bonuses. My trained units had 8 strength and 8 constitution. Then I created another custom altarian faction with the faction bonus Powerful. My trained units had 8 strength and 8 constitution, and the trait that said the stuff it does. http://i.imgur.com/8hheE.jpg

It is difficult to tell, but I think this applies to the Yithril trait as well?

I had a quick look at the Powerful ability in the xml, and it says

    <AbilityBonus InternalName="PowerfulEmpireAbility">
        <AbilityBonusType>Player</AbilityBonusType>
        <AbilityBonusOption InternalName="PowerfulEmpire">
            <DisplayName>Powerful</DisplayName>
            <Description>All units get +3 Strength and +2 Constitution</Description>
            <Icon>Ability_Powerful_Icon.png</Icon>
            <GameModifier>
                <ModType>Unit</ModType>
                <Attribute>AdjustUnitStat</Attribute>
                <StrVal>A_UnitStat_Constitution</StrVal>
                <Value>2</Value>
            </GameModifier>
            <GameModifier>
                <ModType>Unit</ModType>
                <Attribute>AdjustUnitStat</Attribute>
                <StrVal>A_UnitStat_Strength</StrVal>
                <Value>3</Value>
            </GameModifier>
            <Cost>1</Cost>
            <HideWhenUpgraded>0</HideWhenUpgraded>
            <AIData AIPersonality="AI_General">
                <AIPriority>5</AIPriority>
            </AIData>
        </AbilityBonusOption>
    </AbilityBonus>

 

I believe it should not say A_UnitStat_Constitution, but just UnitStat_Constitution and the same for strength.

 

 

I didn't check these, but the same XML problem exists in some other faction traits for units, such as Quick, Weak and so on.

You did notice it's not just the Powerful ability, right?

Just by looking at XML for faction unit traits

Lucky
Quick
Vulnerable
Weak
