I tried adding custom race ability and trait points, but it doesn't seem to take. Mods are enabled, and I even tried also changing the core files in the original download, Crusade, and Intrigue. Did these get hardcoded?
No. I mod it all the time. It's just be the global defs file...
Make sure to use the new intrigue copy.
Nope, that isn't working. I haven't been able to adjust this by any means since the Intrigue install.
I haven't had any issues... you might want to cleanse and reinstall 
I actually tried that too, this is why it's driving me bonkers!!! LOL

I initially just put an updated file in the Mods folder, when that didn't work I updated the Core file in Intrigue. When THAT didn't work I updated the Core files in Crusade and the main GC3 download.
I have since reverted all 3 Core Files, only have the modded file in my Mods folder.
These were the same parameters that I changed with Crusade.
I am seeing SOME changes show, but others don't. It's just weird.
OK I ran in to this ,,, weather this is right or wrong I had to mod in the last two exp packs and in my mod files too. it did not work till I modded the last exp pack this EXP3_Intrigue even tho we are suppose to have to only change the ones in EXP2_Crusade ,, it did not work,
I,m not saying this is right i,m just saying this is what I had to do.
