Demeanor

[Emperor Zodd]

Does anyone know if the demeanor of your race has any effect on gameplay at all?

[Kimball]

I believe is used to just describe your empire to other human players, not real advantage or disadvantage. Happiness type, on the other hand, does affect game play.

[Emperor Zodd]

Thats what I think also, but I want to be sure.

Demeanor is important relative to the Ai's attitude towards you.

As in, "Da more ships of dere's ya blow up, demeanor dey get!"

Ba-Dum-Bump, Tish!

It does have some sort of effect on how the AI regards you. I've had very different relations with various races when I chose different demeanors. The XiChung, for example, spent an entire game offering me treaties and refused to go to war even though I bLasted their ships ANY time they came into my systems, but in another game they declared war almost as soon as they met me.
