Peaceful Warmongers?

Altarians are a bit violent...

from GalCiv2 Forums
I don't get what's going on here, it's like i'm playing a mirror universe except i'm not. I've noticed a trend in which the Altarians are really getting aggressive, in three games they have been biatch slapping their neighbors. In my current game they've all but reduced the Dregin to rubble and the Korx are bearing the brunt of a full frontal assault... If it weren't for my strong trade relations with the Altarians my civ would be drawn into war as well (happened the first two times)...

So what is this? Have the Altarians been struck by some kind of Crusader virus or something? They need to eradicate everyone who's evil or even neutral? Sheesh... They're the most violent civ i've seen so far... "not very militaristic" my arse...

ive noticed this also, in every game i play with them they are always at war with one of their neighbours. and they attacked me ( my own fault, didnt have any military 2 years into the game) while i had close relations with them . they attacked me the other times because i had a random event where one of their embsadores get killed by a disgruntled employ and both time they dont want peace even after i build a battleship that can take on a fleet of their best ships. they only want peace when they are left with 2 worlds and by then im just going to take them over

The altarians are very militaristic. If you are weak, thats a hit. They are very good, if you are not, thats a hit. Additioanlly, if you come from a non-good race, that is a hit. Add em up, and its attack time.

I often have problems with them because I play the yor. However, if I shift my alignment to good, they often become much friendlier. Also, make sure you have some military going, otherwise they will subsume you for your own good! : )

Well, why is it that the Altarians are the only one with such aggressive expansionism? Not even the greedy Korx or evil Dregin are this war-like... maybe they act more like humans/terrans than i thought... they must have concieved their own philosophy of "Manifest Destiny" to steamroll half the galaxy like this...
