Just wondering if there are any factors other then species that influence this figure, and what species naturally get along?

I notice government type gets its own modifier, so I assume that's not a factor.

Perhaps an option to turn this racial tendency off in the starting options would be nice. It reminds me of finding Genghis Khan in Civ 4, I always knew that he would want to fight me somewhere down the road. Or Montezuma.

well, I would "instinctively dislike" them too.

Funny enough thats why I asked the question, It seems (in my limited experience) nobody likes bugs.

I like tarantulas. They are big, furry, move slowly and are not at all aggressive. At least the ones I've met

You sir, are a genius.
I feel a spot of modding coming on.
What should I call my new arachnid race?

I saw them this summer when I was on holiday in the Peruvian jungle. Especially the females get really big and scary, but they dont move if you come close. They will just keep sitting their on the tree. They are not afraid of humans. The scary thing was that they were only 5 m from my bed.

But the spider race is the least i seen,  the only one that pops out each time i made a new game is the ants.

Status: offline 		im not sure about you guys but if i saw a huge tarantula up close (i.e. the Dahout), i would be...instinctly repulsed by that.

I mean, normal tarantulas are fascinating and all but 5m long ones arent on my likable list im afraid...
