I'd like to emulate SMAC's dynamic diplomatic dialogues, which take strings from the faction.txt files to make the conversation more fitting for the leader you are and the one you speak to.
For that I of course need to know which string is used in which text. And given that my memory of SMAC is decaying, I'd like to have confirmation what's the right string instead of guessing.
Currently I'm wondering about these intros:
I'd like to know for sure what $IMPLEMENTING_YOUR_EVIL_AGENDA6, $RUTHLESSMETHODS6, $DANCING_NAKED_THROUGH_THE_TREES8 (okay, that one may be obvious) and $ECO_LOONY6 are replaced with.
Unfortunately I can't get those intro messages to show up in SMAC. Having bad relationships, or being at war, or having fought a war in the past, don't seem enough. Does anyone know when these messages appear, or even better does anyone have a save where these messages appear, or best, does anyone have screenshots of these messages in-game. I only need to know what the strings are replaced with after all.
Edit: Further dialogue:
