For a trait to be in the unit designer it has to have two things.

and 

With these two lines of code added to a core ability it can be also used for unit design.  Just beware that this can be added to very powerful abilities as well so units can skip the trait tree chain and get higher level abilities for trained units if you wanted to create a cheat unit.

Turns out there's a simpler way to get around the perks. Just use a game modifier in that unit:

            <GameModifier>
                <ModType>Unit</ModType>
                <Attribute>UnlockUnitAbility</Attribute>
                <StrVal>Parry</StrVal>
            </GameModifier>

Then only that unit will get the perk.

Edit:

Odd sometimes this causes the game to hang.

You can attach bonus options to the unit and not count it toward the ability bonus option count. Allowing one to use more perks than 4 and design such units without moving balance away. Think of it as a way to add special units to the mix that still get to choose ability bonus options. Although, I'd stick with the original method to to maintain balance (The one PrimalSavage) suggested.

That is the appropriate way to accomplish this, but is it a problem with the ability not showing up, or is it more of you want this particular unit design to have 5 or more traits?

Dropbox will work, that's what I use. Posts mods and pics from one convenient location.

I see... well looking at the help file you can enable it...

https://www.dropbox.com/help/16/en

although you can just share the links (with the public) from any folder. So in their opinion the public folder was just a pointless exercise anyway. (Its under the help header of Creating a Public Folder)

To share images via dropbox (as all of my images do that), you click on insert image button on the edit screen here and copy the url into the right spot and you have shared the image pretty straight forward.

Cheers.

Couple of random mod questions, pretty sure the answer is not possible on most/all counts but just putting it out there anyways....

Anyone know of a way to mod any of these values from ElementalDefs on a per faction basis:

<NonZOCContiguousCityUnrestPenalty>15</NonZOCContiguousCityUnrestPenalty>

<!-- ** city occupation unrest ** -->
<OccupationInitialUnrest>50.0</OccupationInitialUnrest>
<OccupationTurnsBeforeReduction>5</OccupationTurnsBeforeReduction>
<OccupationMinimumUnrest>0.0</OccupationMinimumUnrest>

<!-- ** unrest penalty per city in a empire ** -->
<CityCountUnrestPenalty>3</CityCountUnrestPenalty>

I know there is DisableCityCountUnrestPenalty for improvements (like Tower of Dominion) just wondering if there is anything related to these.

Also, is there any way to target a spell on an enemy champion?  Friendly champion, yes.... Enemy unit, yes.... but seems that EnemyChampion is not a valid target   Am I wrong?

Thanks.

No kidding didn't think of that, awesome thanks Primal   

Thanks Primal checking those out.  I also picked up a few other ideas while going through various files from XtraDeconstruct
