List of acceptable ethics tags

Ethics tags are used in the entity_default file to determine how races feel about various issues. Example usage: [ETHIC:ASSAULT:PUNISH_SERIOUS]

Entities will start wars with each other over ethical differences during world gen. Ongoing wars may influence fortress mode, causing early sieges.

Ethics values

This table shows the degree to which relations between two civilizations will be affected by disputes over an ethical issue, based on how much they accept it. Columns list the ethics values of the target civilization, while rows list the ethics values of the evaluating civilization. When several disputes accumulate a strong enough negative value for the evaluating civilization, they will go to war. Blank comparisons have no effect at all.

Ethics are listed loosely in order of descending acceptability.
