Dola.

Well, that was easy. From what I can tell in my latest test, you are absolutely right, Wolf (btw, my original intention was not to question your conclusion but to lend support if I could, and now I can).

I started the game again, did my temporary hatchet job on both name files, producing one name in each 500 times, and the next amateur draft was perfect. However, when I ended the game and restarted, it was as if the names file and reverted back to what was stored in players.dat when the league was created. All my single name people survive, of course, but the next amateur draft looked quite normal. One session only, as you said.

So, I won't even bother testing the ethnicities angle. For one thing, as I mentioned, it does not even look like the game is addressing that database during reimportation. Plus, it's a good assumption that even if it were, the same thing would be happening to ethnicities as names; that is, reversion back to original values.

I suggest asking the moderators to post this in Tech Support or doing so yourself, Wolf. This should be interesting to follow.
