Civilization Types (Good vs. Evil)

from Stardock Forums
Ok, for the first time since I started with this in the Beta, I've experienced an intresting change in the actual GUI of the game. I'm assuming this is the cause of my "path" to "victory/failure". Is there any way to move from being a evil civilization to a good civilization, or an I stuck?

Start making 'good' ethical decisions at the random events. They`re the ones that feel like pulling teeth and have the effect of shooting yourself in the leg.. cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Thought so. Altough I usually made "bad" decisions during the beta, and it never happened. Was sort of suprising. :notsure:

They`re always the first on the list.

Actually I`ve found some good picks to be helpful, like the ones that stunt population growth. That helps with your morale. If the good pick is too horrible than you can usually do with the second, neutral, pick.

I thought my game had a major graphics glitch when I made an evil decision and my gui changed red. Icons on the buttons changed also. Very nice effect devs. Good g*d I love this game!!!! :D

The only problem with being evil is that the evil UI sucks compared to the "Neutral" look. :(
Not seen the Good UI yet.. Should probably actually pick some of the nice guy options at some point... :D

The good UI is very slick, almost OS X like... I hope apple does not sue them :notsure:

Where can you check your ethics rating? I can't find it anywhere, or is there no way to find it.

You know what would be cool? Have good AI options that actually help you out. :D I know, it usually doesnt "pay" to be good, but it might make being good easier.

What happens if you make some "A" and some "B" choices? I have never chosen "C" yet, but sometimes opt A is a bit too severe for me (-38% morale bonus?!? Yikes!!!!)

If you go 50-50 between A and B, are you neutral, slightly good or slightly bad?

I think there's supposed to be some Good-only techs that are very useful to have?

If you choose A, you get kinder (gooder doesnt work :D ).
If you choose B, you stay neutral.
If you choose C, you become more evil.

I dont really like the evil interface. Just isn't as "sharp" as the neutral. Unfortunately, I have a tendancy to become evil. :)

I just got the Good interface. It is so angelic looking and soft and...well...angel like.( I ran out of words to describe it)
Reply #15 from Stardock Forums Top
The good interface is best described as: "You had better already know what the icons mean" :)

Since I am morally opposed to even PRETENDING to be evil, I may never know what the evil interface looks like.

"Gooder" is a real word, it's just difficult to use correctly.... Or do I just have trouble coz I'm so dang evil? :)

Yes, I definately like the neutral better than the evil one.
