List of actions that will damage your reputation?

[hecose]

I'm pretty new to Civ II and I've only played a few games on easier levels (Prince & below) so far. I tend to get very bad reputation among civs and all other civs are usually enraged / hostile / icy to me. Is it because I'm more advanced than they are? Is it because I'm more powerful than they are? The other civs tend to gang up against me too. So the more I play the more I try to please other civs. However, I'm starting to get fed up. Sometimes I give a few technologies and some money to a civ, and STILL can't make it friendly enough to trade technology / sign a treaty. So, hmm... maybe I should just ignore the bad rep and do my own business of either advance as fast as possible to launch a spaceship or kill them all.

Anyway, my question is: What are the actions that will damage your reputation? And how bad?

E.g.

1. Attacking an ally - very bad
2. Breaking a peace treaty - very bad
3. Plant nuclear device with spy - bad
4. Use nuclear device - bad
5. Steal technology with spy - bad
6. Bribe city with spy - bad

(I'm not too sure of these, so do correct me if I'm wrong)

Any other actions?

Only if you break any type of peace negotiations. You can't attack allies.

Use nuclear device - very bad

Pretty much any act of espionage(sabotage,steal tech etc)

Refusing to withdraw troops.
Sneak attack.
Third party coercion

In MGE,the mere act of existing angers the AI.

Keep in mind that it does not matter how war-like you are with your opponents. It's okay to fight, but not dirty, is essentially the rule.

Correction

3. Plant nuclear device with spy - Bad to the EXTREME!!!!

Everyone declares war on you if your found out. Except in fundy, of course.

Good play - means if you are far in front in technology and military the other nations will allie against you and declare war , it's in a way annoying (i would prefer better AI) but makes the game more interesting on the other hand .

 

[vladmir_illych_lenin]

Universal rule-If your gonna be sneaky, sneak whole heartedly!

 

[hecose]

If I'm at war with civ A, is it okay to be sneaking to him? Can I use spies to steal his technology / subvert his cities etc without damage to my reputation? But I guess using nuclear weapons will damage reputation whether or not you're at war with the guy.

 

[Cunobelin Of Hippo]

No, Hecose, you can do whatever you want when at war except plant a nuke. It will not hurt your rep.

 

[vladmir_illych_lenin]

A good way to prevent rep damage is to get them to declare war on you instead of you on him.

 

[hecose]

How about refusing a cease fire / peace when the enemy civ asks for it? Would that give me a bad rep? Sometimes I just want to finish off that civ or sometimes there are a few key cities I want to capture, so no way I'm going to accept any ceas fire at that point in time.

 

[vladmir_illych_lenin]

Refusing ceasefires doesn't damage your reputation, but refusing to withdraw your troops damages big time.

List of actions that will damage your reputation

Are there any such actions ? ? ?

 

[HIEROPHANT]

i just demand tribute on civ until they declare war to avoid damange on reputation.
when you are so strong compared to computer reputation no longer matters.

 

[gjts00]

You'll find over time, that as long as you play ball & give the AI civs what they want when they want it they'll stay friendly. As soon as you decline a request their attitude changes very quickly.

Just worry about rep at the beginning of the game, when you might want to ally with another civ, or share maps etc. It's just too frustrating to be good throught the game, as the AI will do stupid things like invade your city radius for no reason, or demand tech all the time. Apparently Civ 3 will solve some of these problems.

But in Civ 2 rep doesn't affect your score anyway, so who cares?

_ sabotage
_ alliance with one enemy civ of the current civ (anybody understand?)
