Diplomacy/Intelligence Suggestion

[DirkHowitzer]

I was wondering if it would be feasible to to do something like MOO2, where if you used biological weapons or the like the other AI's would frown on it. Only I propose a slight twist...Every 'bad' thing you do would be stored in a .txt file(Spacing populations/plague bombing planets/etc...)the 'atrocities' file(no offense to our dear friend and forum brother Atrocities;-)...and this would become another intelligence op. This op would have to do with uncovering 'dirt' about other empires to discredit them with the rest of the empires. Perhaps these incidents could be uncovered by chance as well, therefore creating incentive not to do them. But with yet another twist, you could have it so that, depending on happiness types demeanors and cultures, some Empires might not be bothered by such things...

I'm still wrestling with this in my head...but it's an idea...
