Hello all so I should probably already know this considering how much I have played this game but I don't. I am wondering if certain civs come already viewed as a war monger like Shaka even before anything is done?
What I mean is I recently decided I wanted to be on the other side of a impi wave so I started up as Shaka. Now for me I have never been a war monger type and usually save all my warring for late game so this was going to be new. By turn 150ish on epic speed I felt ready for war so I bribed the AI right next to me to go to war with another which made them a backstabber. A few turns latter I joined in and took the city that was right next to me. About 20 turns latter I noticed the AI to the other side of me also had the backstabber flag on and I wanted that city anyways. I accepted a deal to start a joint war and I took that city as well which did kick that civ out of the game. Well after doing that the whole world hated me and I don't really understand why since what I did I have done before but granted much latter in the game. They hate me just because I was Shaka or because I knocked one out rather early instead of latter in the game?
