I just began playing Crusade and have two questions:

1. I have five custom races that I downloaded from steam some months ago. They show up in my new game and they even have some new text (I play the Onyx, and met one of those custom races recently, since then all three turns or so they tell me something like "What are you supposed to be, some kind of rock eating worms?"

Can there be problems with those races, since I assume they won't have all the new traits, and don't konw whether all old traits are supported anymore? Until now (I just met them some 20 turns ago) I had no problems apart from some strange behaviour of the trade screen when they offered me a trade and I began adding and removing things from the trade. The trade bar stayed all the time at 100% against me (entirely colored in the other race's color), even if I removed everything they offered and wanted to give loads of money to them, they refused and the bar stayed the same.

2. What about old mods? I played until now with a private mod I created for me, but I assume the XML has changed so much that that wouldn't work anymore. But can there be problems or does Crusade just use an entirely new folder structure?

Thanks in advance for your enlightenment
