Ethics

Do ethics have any effect on the game besides looking pretty and starting wars? I tried to make a race that thought slavery was perfectly acceptable but it wouldn't take any civilians prisoner after pillaging/destroying. Do I need [ABUSE_BODIES]? --Squeegy 20:40, 3 November 2008 (EST)

I'm guessing not all of these have been coded into the AI behaviors yet, with the exception of goblin snatchers and kobold thieves. All they probably do right now is spark wars through philosophical disagreements during worldgen. You know, an elf and a dwarf go for a drink, they get to talking about religion, slavery and sapient races, more drink is involved, arguments start, before you know it your civ is at war. --Jellyfishgreen 10:19, 13 January 2009 (EST)
What about lying, for example? I don't believe there is any way to "lie" anywhere in the game, seemingly making this ethic option moot. Worldgen stuff, maybe, but what possible impact could it have? Can lies spark wars? --Smartmo 22:10, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
