Why does everyone want to kill the Korx?

Korx is the intergalactic whipping boy.

April 6, 2007 1:14:22 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
Every other race for some reason hates the Korx. I don't get better trading with them, but rather hostile feelings and several races ganging up on me at once. I've hence learned to build up my military first, and have them ready to strike ALL of their bases as they decimate my planets together.

The other races don't hate the Korx - they hate the human player.

Now that Diplomacy has essentially been removed as a way to keep up your relations with AI factions, while at the same time planetary influence has been turned into a bigger AI irritant, DA is becoming yet another strategy game where it eventually turns into an 'all AIs against the player' slugfest.

Ouch. I hope that's not true, or I once I finally get Dark Avatar, I might enjoy it a lot less than I expect to.

On the other hand, the higher the difficulty, the harder the AIs seem to go after the weaker players. Hopefully that has more to do with it than just fighting the human player specifically.

I must make a confession and admit that I posted a question to an answer that I'm fully aware of. People don't like Korx because they are evil. They will sell you crack, prostitutes, alien meat (I heard human flesh costs millions), and shylocking is legal. Nobody likes them because they don't understand nor accept their cultural upringing. So the highly ethical societies want to take away the Korx soveriegn rights. The nuetral want to do whatever some other society is persuading them to do through galactic ties and what nots. The evil societies want to enslave their lands to further enfore peace throughout the galaxy. You can say that in order to play an evil society who's only ability is to rip people off on trades you need to be ready to be the guy no one likes(even the unliked people) unless you pay them too(and thats just not the Korx way... they are suppose to pay you to like you). Dark Avatar's AI will blow up your CPU if your not careful. Don't listen to the people who complain. If they weren't complaining about this game they would be complaining about something else.

The Dominion of Korx are always the first AI civ to declare war on me. Actually they're the only ones who have thus far, so I would ask you why do the Korx want to kill me? Maybe because they have no face and are just getting confused...

Maybe they just want to get things moving and add some tension

The Korx are as ugly as hell. They should kill the Thalans off next for similar reasons. And both have really boring backstories.

Their alignment of 1, now that they're Traders, is kind of strange. The Yor don't have such an extreme alignment.

I play them a lot lot, but their alignment is goofy. I just consider them Mafia or something, because they would have to be.
