entity ethic question
« on: March 16, 2012, 02:56:17 am »

So, apparently dwarves are bloody saints as far as being accepting of others. They have hostilities more often with elves than my custom entity, which I'm not entirely certain if I should be proud of the bastards or not. At any rate, my goal is an entity that has a decent chance of being hostile without use of babysnatcher or itemtheif. Their current ethics are:

and these creatures still aren't having any hostilities with the dorfs. Anyone have any experience in hostile through ethics only entities?

The easy way is to set babysnatcher or itemtheif for dwarves (it may turn ugly in legends/adventure mode and make kobolds friendly).

Have you tried just setting everything to the reverse of dwarfkind's ethics? Make cannibalism acceptable, killing plants forbidden, ect?

the main thing with elves is the cannibalism and tree thing. it also make them clash a lot with humies too, as both industrial civs rely a lot on wood (you can see in worldgen if you watch human/dwarf cities closly that forests near their settlements turn into grassland/savana within the years, while around elven settlements its the reverse) ... and eating the fallen in the two burial driven "ancestors first" civs isnt a good deal either.

From "Angroshs Kinder" Das schwarze Auge Zwergenhandbuch - (Angrosh Children, the dark eye, german pen&paper, dwarven handbook):
"Elves!? Their men dont wear beards, and their women bathe nacked to lure you into the water and drown you. Thank Angrosh they are as ugly as the day and all big and skinny."

You could always try the reverse.   Make your custom entity have a very high moral standard that Dwarfes could never meet.
Make the custom entity militant vegan tree hugging hippies, for example.
