All right do to the wiki having no info on the effect of the Ethics Tag in Dwarf Fortress mode I'm going to do my own experiment and collect data on the subject if you know the answer don't hesitate to post
 

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

ASSAULT   
EAT_SAPIENT_KILL [let you eat Sapient creature but not your dwarfs]
EAT_SAPIENT_OTHER [same as above most likely]    
KILL_ANIMAL [let you kill Animal straight forward, well i have not tested this but most likely]
KILL_ENEMY [straight forward]   
KILL_ENTITY_MEMBER [effect: in history murder happen more often in the civ i believe. in Fortress Mode it  let dwarfs that kill some one in rage go unpunished need to test]    
KILL_NEUTRAL [not sure may make them attack trader that are coming to trade also need to test]   
KILL_PLANT [let you harvest plants or cut tress maybe need testing]   
LYING    [no idea]
MAKE_TROPHY_ANIMAL [let you make trophy of animals]    
MAKE_TROPHY_SAME_RACE [may let you make trophy of your dwarfs]
MAKE_TROPHY_SAPIENT [straight forward]    
OATH_BREAKING [no idea]
SLAVERY [seem none]   
THEFT [no idea]   
TORTURE_ANIMALS [may let a person get away with hurting a pet]   
TORTURE_AS_EXAMPLE   [none maybe]
TORTURE_FOR_FUN [none maybe]   
TORTURE_FOR_INFORMATION   [none maybe]
TREASON [none maybe]    
TRESPASSING [none maybe]   
VANDALISM [may effect the punishment of vandalism]

I hope this is in the right area to post this

[Max White]

This is relevant to my intrests. Watching!

[Alkhemia]

Alright first test will be
VANDALISM
TORTURE_ANIMALS
KILL_ENTITY_MEMBER
all Acceptable tomorrow anyway I need to sleep

[cameron]

slavery used to affect if the civ would capture people in world gen during wars, idk if it still works

[GregHayes]

I don't think ethics tags have any effect on fortress mode, but I would be happy to see DWARVEN SCIENCE prove me wrong.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that either EAT_SAPIENT_KILL or MAKE_TROPHY_SAPIENT (I forget which) causes a civ's caravans to bring items made from sapient creatures in fortress mode if set to ACCEPTABLE...

[IT 000]

[EAT_SAPIENT_KILL] makes the entity eat other sapient creatures that they kill in battles or duels during worldgen. Just look at any elf warrior.

Yeah I was able to embark with lost adventure meat and mummy meat with those ethic tags as ACCEPTABLE

[arzzult]

Mummy meat? Must be like jerky with a spicy negative energy flavor. Slightly more on topic, I know ethics also determines who wants to go to war with whom in world gen.

[BlueOceans10]

Did a bit of testing with the [SLAVERY] and [KILL_PLANTS] tags, but from the perspective of fortress outsiders.


More specifically, I made both acceptable to elves.

Haven't found anything that may be gameplay related to slavery, but upon trading with elves, I've found that they're perfectly happy with being traded goods made from the dead carcasses of trees. Hell, they took the initiative and asked for my wooden bins to sweeten a deal.

I've only tested this once, so this may need further investigation.

[dree12]

Yes. That was the way KILL_PLANTS worked in 40d as well (check df wiki). SLAVERY does not do anything important, or at least not anything obvious.
