Ethics tags are used in the entity_default raw file to determine how races feel about various issues. Relationships between civs are based on their ethics value numbers in relation to each other; Some yield favourable positive numbers or unfavourable negative numbers that result in ethic/civ conflict. Civs with UNTHINKABLE in a specific ethic will happily go to war with a different civ that has ACCEPTABLE in that same ethic type.

Ethics tags are used in the [[Entity token|entity raw files]] to determine how different civilizations feel about various issues. Relationships between civilizations are based on their ethic responses in relation to each other; similar ethics result in friendship, while conflicting ethics result in animosity. Strongly conflicting ethics often trigger [[war]]s during worldgen.

Example usage: [ETHIC:ASSAULT:PUNISH_SERIOUS]
+
In practice, this generally causes Elves to declare war on everybody else over killing plants and making trophies, and everybody else to declare war on the Elves over the devouring of sapient beings.

−
In un-modded DF, this corresponds to wars over eating sapients and elves declaring war on everybody for harming plants and hunting/displaying trophies.

==Ethics value numbers in relation to each other==

The following table describes how entities respond to other cultures, with the observer on the vertical axis and their target on the horizontal axis.
 +
If an entity's accumulated animosity towards another passes a certain threshold (determined by ruler's personality) then it will run a risk-assessment check. If passed, this will lead to a declaration of war.

Note: These were given by Toady himself [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=22151.msg239689]. Anything above listed value indicator is counted for same value difference.
+
In general, entities react much more strongly to actions that violate their taboos than to the outlawing of their customs in other civilisations.
 +
For example, Civ A finds slavery Acceptable, but Civ B considers it a Capital Offence.<br />
 +
> Civ A will consider Civ B most unreasonable (-5) for executing people over such a non-issue.<br />
 +
> Civ B will be shocked and disgusted (-15) that Civ A engages in such a debased activity.<br />
 +
> The end result is mutual negativity. However, Civ B is 3x ''more'' offended, and much more likely to go to war over the issue - assuming, of course, they think they have a chance of winning.

List of acceptable ethics tags[edit]

Ethics tags are used in the entity raw files to determine how different civilizations feel about various issues. Relationships between civilizations are based on their ethic responses in relation to each other; similar ethics result in friendship, while conflicting ethics result in animosity. Strongly conflicting ethics often trigger wars during worldgen.

In practice, this generally causes Elves to declare war on everybody else over killing plants and making trophies, and everybody else to declare war on the Elves over the devouring of sapient beings.

Ethics value numbers in relation to each other[edit]

The following table describes how entities respond to other cultures, with the observer on the vertical axis and their target on the horizontal axis. If an entity's accumulated animosity towards another passes a certain threshold (determined by ruler's personality) then it will run a risk-assessment check. If passed, this will lead to a declaration of war.

In general, entities react much more strongly to actions that violate their taboos than to the outlawing of their customs in other civilisations. For example, Civ A finds slavery Acceptable, but Civ B considers it a Capital Offence.
> Civ A will consider Civ B most unreasonable (-5) for executing people over such a non-issue.
> Civ B will be shocked and disgusted (-15) that Civ A engages in such a debased activity.
> The end result is mutual negativity. However, Civ B is 3x more offended, and much more likely to go to war over the issue - assuming, of course, they think they have a chance of winning.
