Snownova
Warlord
Based on a post by Babri:
A casus beli system would make for a great addition to Civ in my opinion:
When declaring war you will be asked to select a reason why you are declaring war:
(AI's will also inform you of their reason for attacking)
Possible reasons:
- Because I feel like it! (crazy warmonger style)
- They extorted my CS allies!
- They are massing an army near my borders!
- Holy Crusade!
- They settled cities too close to me (despite my asking them not to)
- I'm joining the war to protect (3rd player) (if accepted will result in diplo boost from 3rd player)
etc.
Some justifications will need to have their own warnings implemented to enable to player to give the AI a reason to back off first before declaring war. (asking AI's to move their armies away from border, stop spreading religion, etc)
After war is declared, the other leaders will each decide for themselves if they accept the reason as valid.
If a leader accepts your casus beli as valid, you will not recieve a diplo hit with them and they will not consider you a warmonger. If they do not accept your reason you will obviously get the diplo hit and bad rep, as in the current game.
The likelyhood of a leader accepting your justification should be at least partially based on their own warmongering score:
Montezuma: Whatever. Moar carnage! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Ghandi: Violence is never justified!
