When designing troops they do not seem to get any benifit from the faction bonuses (like trogs +3 strength and +2 constitution). I've checked this by building a new city going to training and designing a new unit - the stats from int, str, con, and dex always add up to 34 for any race. Races that have stat based faction bonuses should add up to more than races that do not. Also when picking the negative magic resistance trait on a custom race it doesnt seem to show up when designing units either.
Am I missing something?
