I miss despicable neutrals

[Ixal]

Ever since the first Ethics fix I haven't seen them any more. I miss 'em.

And I am sure if they were here they would say "maybe".

I have no hard feelings either way.

This thread is setting off my beige alert.

There are couple non-standard ethics combinations that are not scripted to any particular personality.
And yet, they default to honour-bound warriors, as opposed to despicable neutrals. I wonder why it was changed like this.

The question is what makes empire turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or are they just born with a heart full of neutrality?

Yeah, hilariously fanatical pacifists will now turn into honorbound warriors... (Even more hilariously, the honorbound warrior AI seems to somehow do an above average job playing fanatical pacifists)

Despicable neutrals were, and are, the default personality given to an empire before it's assigned a proper personality. If you start a new game and go into observe mode while still keeping it paused, you'll see that every Ai Empire, including FE, have the Despicable Neutral personality. Once you fast forward at least one day, they're all assigned something more appropriate.

Bugs. Usually bugs.
And most of them seem to be fixed apparently, judging by how OP can't find them anymore.

RIP Despicable Neutrals. May your funeral be uneventful.
