v0.31:Ethic
This article is about an older version of DF. |
List of acceptable ethics tags
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.
Example usage: [ETHIC:ASSAULT:PUNISH_SERIOUS]
In un-modded DF, this corresponds to wars over eating sapients and elves declaring war on everybody for harming plants and hunting/displaying trophies.
