I've been keeping pace with most of the threads here, but there is one pressing issue I haven't seen addressed. A popular game mod in the civilization franchise is "Always War." For various reasons this is a game mode you can't really play in most Paradox games. However, I was hoping that it would be theoretically possible for a situation of constant belligerence towards ALL alien lifeforms encountered without ever bothering with diplomacy. And by possible, I mean not immediately and harshly punished by revolts or riots, and doable for a highly xenophobic race.
So, will Always War be possible?
