Is it possible to engineer a faction to wantonly commit atrocities (preferably without using the scenario editor)? I just thought this might be an interesting feature.

afaik no. but you can make a very aggressive faction by tinkering with the abilities. usually those factions will use atrocities and mostly vote against the UN charter.preferably without using the scenario editor -
Make them like a cross between the Gaians (the only faction to ever successfully nuke me
), Hive (the faction who constantly built nukes but I always intercepted them 
) and the Believers (who have repeatedly used nerve gas on my innocent citizens 
).
I'd suggest this personnality:
1, 1, 1, 1, 1 (want it all!)
Give them tech for nerve gas
Give them a probe team at start
Give them faster research (faster to get those nukes!)... This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality...

Yang commits atrocities by time to time. I guess every AI faction commits them when U.N. Charter is off? Any leader with cynical realism as a basis of ideology would
What would happend if you gave AI Nerve Gas Pods as a free ability?"I'm having a sort of hard time paying attention because my automated teller has started speaking to me, sometimes actually leaving weird messages on the screen, in green lettering, like "Cause a Terrible Scene at Sotheby's" or "Kill the President" or "Feed Me a Stray Cat", and I was freaked out by the park bench that followed me for six blocks last Monday evening and it too spoke to me."

Free Nerve Gas? Wow. That might be interesting indeed.
Factions are very willing to commit atrocities against the Usurpers and Caretakers, or when the U.N. Charter has been repealed. Just to test the suggestions, I changed the Pirates' personality to 1, 1, 1, 1, 1; I haven't been the victim of any unprovoked atrocities just yet, but I'll keep you posted.Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost.Comment
