Warlike civilizations may not have a diplomatic malus because, well, for them it is natural to kill and enslave their foes. There may be civilizations who disregard basic rights as we see them now.
That wouldn't stop them from having a diplomatic malus. Just because you expect a psychopath to lie and cheat, doesn't mean it is acceptable for everyone else that he lie and cheat.

no, but if you think it's entirely OK to lie and cheat you are not goign to hate one if they do the same.
 
Naturally not every galactic member would react the same to genocide and bombardments. Some might not care, some might hate you for it. Hell there might be even some that will love you more for bombing someone else back to the stone age. Shows power and such.

But from a logic standpoint the civilizations that are against mass bombardments should be in the majority. Since there is always the fear they could be next.


Some don't seem to understand that it's not your civ necessary that objects to these actions, but rather the rest of the galactic community. Hence warmonger races might not care themselves to produce molten slagheaps, but the next door neighbor federation type wont be very amused.

Ah, I see, I misunderstood what the original comment meant. I apologize.
Well, if they lie and cheat you, you might still get pretty pissed, eh.
 
Common separation between bombardment methods in various games are
1. Precise but expensive, sparing infrastructure.
2. Cheap and easy Carpet bombardment but harmful to infrastructure.
there should be options for moral and immoral bombardments. Like bioweapon bombs and precise strikes.
