Hi.
In many of my games, i end up razing lots of AI cities (dozens and dozens). However, i do not capture their capitals (sometimes city-state ally take their capital, but usually not). End result is, i have a bunch of civilizations which are very, very angry at me.
Of course, i can live with it because they are so reduced, slowed and ruined that they never catch up to me. In practice, i don't need them to like me. But, it could possibly be interesting to try just for the sake of it.
So, let's say, my current game, there is Inca on the same landmass, to whom i declared war, with a goal to (eventually) raze all his cities except capital - and he has 10+ cities, most of them very small (at the moment), - then make peace with him and let him be. What i'd like to know - is:
- what is the hit to his "opinion" about me for razing a city of his? 20? 30? Or there is no such thing - only warmonger?
- how me being "warmonger" effects his opinion? Probably depends if a civ hates warmongers or tolerates them? What the hit if they hate it? 30?
- does it stack in any way for razing multiple cities? Perhaps the penalty remains for longer than otherwise? Or is it piling up to larger and larger penalty to his opinion about me?
P.S. What i noticed in one of recent games - is that qiuck early war which i declared did not result in very lasting "warmonger" status for me from the victim civ (Arabs), despite the fact i razed one of his small cities which he placed near my territory; however, England treated me as a warmonger for much longer than Arabs themselves did. Straaaange. %)
