Summary0014875: Diplomacy - Why Are You At War?
DescriptionWe should be able to ask a Race leader, if they'll speak to us, why they are at war with one or more other Races. If the answer presents more information than merely, "because we feel like it", (noting that a response of "because /they/ started it" would be entirely acceptable) then the player might then have a few clues as to what they must do in order to end that war or help prevent another such war starting under similar circumstances.

For context, I had a game where everyone was neutral and yet they were all involved in one or more wars against one another. If a terrible relations value isn't a gate for starting wars then we, the players, need to know what the exact reasons are for going to war.

Agreed, this is really needed so the player gets an idea of why things happen, which there is already a drastic problem with.

Funny your timing, I've been meaning to add the following for a while, and just finished doing so. Let me know if you don't think this is sufficient, though:

* Previously, when an attack was declared by one race against another, there was no indication of why. There are actually 8 internal reasons why a race might attack another, and now the icon of the attack notification shows which reason it was, and the description on that icon explains further what the cause was.

Thanks!
