Hello everybody, i'm a new PFM user, today i tried to add the night attack ability to the sassanid, just like the picts, but after i throw the my mod.pack file to the data floder, i found that the sassanid lose all its original trait, include the culture trait and the faction trait, so i'd like to ask you what should i do to add some new trait to the faction without lose any original trait.

Thanks in advance.

Hi thanks for your help.

I understand where is my problem by looking through your mod, that i need to creat a new discribe line for my mod just like your "ebd_nb_effect_bundles_to_effects_junctions", thanks a lot for that!

Tbh I understood your problem, but wanted you to figure it out yourself

Because it's very basic but very important for beginning to modding, says who started modding a month ago

And yes you should rename the original table's name, if you not gonna take the whole table
But if you gonna take the whole table (mostly when to do compatible with other mod), then you shouldn't.

Ah, and you are welcome, happy to help,
Hope one day you will do some good mods to share here
