Wars reasons

(1/4) > >>

compsognathus:
I was enjoying to see "legends viewer" result and i thought: why not insert a real reason for every wars?

Some could be:

Conquest of resources: forests, coast(in late age), water, rivers, metals (after spying on a fortress), area inhabited by riding animals (or rich of easy animal leather but need different hardness leather)

Civilization goal: make empire->conquer other civilizations or control them. After the conquest, generate the emperor.

Religious crusades

Wars of succession death of king, internal wars

Racial hatred

therahedwig:
A lot of this stuff is proly coming, but it requires the worldgen ai to be able to go through these motions first and we're going to see myth/magic and starting scenarios before worldgen ai is smart enough to even conceive of things like resources. Though, with a bit of luck we may see the conquering happen this release.

Azerty:
It might first entail work on economics and politics.

Shonai_Dweller:
Each war currently has a reason you can read in Legends Mode. My current world has wars which began due to "A dispute over truthfulness, Dispute over the display of war and hunting trophies, Dispute over the devouring of sapient beings...".

And that's not even random, wars (almost always) start based on ethics right now, so each war info page is giving the "real reason" for the war. Is just that right now, that's all there is. When more reasons are available to the world's warmongers (politics, religious laws, border disputes, etc as mentioned), they'll all be displayed in the same way.

Knight Otu:
Last I checked, those war reasons were largely "fake". Instead of being generated at the time the war starts, the reason is generate when you access the war's legend mode page, based on the differences in ethics of the participants (which is why don't seem random). The same war may be a dispute because of the treatment of animals and the next time you look at it, because of eating dead sapients.

There are a few exceptions. One is if one side can't speak. I believe worship of opposed spheres is another.
