EAT_SAPIENT_OTHER
The following table describes how entities respond to other cultures, with the observer on the vertical axis and their target on the horizontal axis.
 
If an entity's accumulated animosity towards another passes a certain threshold (determined by the ruler's personality) then it will run a risk-assessment check. If passed, this will lead to a declaration of war.
 
  
In general, entities react much more strongly to actions that violate ''their'' taboos than to the outlawing of their customs in other civilisations.
+
KILL_ANIMAL
For example, Civ A finds slavery Acceptable, but Civ B considers it a Capital Offence.
 
* Civ A will consider Civ B most unreasonable (−5) for executing people over such a non-issue.
 
* Civ B will be shocked and disgusted (−15) that Civ A engages in such a debased activity.
 
* The end result is mutual negativity. However, Civ B is 3× ''more'' offended, and much more likely to go to war over the issue — assuming, of course, they think they have a chance of winning.
