[SET_RELATIONS] entity token
« on: May 13, 2011, 08:12:12 pm »
[SET_RELATIONS:x:y]

x = entity name

y = relation

Possible y values:

LOATHING - kill on sight
HATRED - usually at war
DISTASTE - more prone to wars
NEUTRAL - no change (default)
EMPATHY - less prone to wars
FRIENDSHIP - usually at peace
KINSHIP - never at war

I know that ethics are used for dynamic relations, but when modding, I'd like to add some entities that would never ever in a million years be at peace with each other without having to use other tricks and accept their unintended consequences (i.e. ITEM_THIEF, removing CAN_SPEAK, etc).  This token would override the ethics at its extreme values, and influence their usage in calculations for more neutral ones.

Second this, sometimes you just want specific wars without fine-tuning ethics.

Not extremely usefull, but if it added just a day to a release date, I would like Toady to include it.

I agree, it would make things simple, especially for modders.

By looking at those y values, looks like you used to play Lords of Magic.

Guilty.  Lol.

They could just be numbers for all I care.

A relatively common suggestion, but not common enough in my opinion. I would like to see this.

Has anybody else noticed that the name of the proposed tag could be taken in a very different manner if seen out of context?...

"Having relations" with someone means having sex, right? And the like?
So... forced relations..
