v0.31:Ethic

From Dwarf Fortress Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search
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.
