Explanation on ethics?
« on: November 28, 2009, 08:02:29 pm »
Can someone be kind enough to explain in detail what each value for the ethics tags means (APPALLING, JUSTIFIED_IF_GOOD_REASON, etc.)? The wiki seems to lack this description, and it would be pretty helpful in making civs from scratch. Post examples too, if possible.

I use basic dictionary to translate them, it was enough for me. I don't think anyone but Toady knows exact numbers of likeliness for actions defined by these.

Search is your friend.

Toady has weighed in on this in the past: here. The math gets a bit complicated, because it's not just a linear comparison.

My guards need something better to do than make my nobles happy with hugs and justice.

Ever since Search saw me with Yahoo, she has been everything BUT friendly...

Anyways, thanks for the link. Why isn't this on the wiki yet? As I said, it'd be pretty useful.
