how do i see my warmonger status?

[billy]

can't find it anywhere. Wanted to check it before starting another war.

Also is there a way to just show luxury resources ?

There isn't actually a direct record of warmonger status, though a good indicator is looking at other civ's oppinion of you - I think there's a "-x thinks you're a warmonger" and the greater x is the more of a prick you are.

As for luxury resources, there's a really bad menu under reports in the top right (under "resources") - the interface is really bad, but the details are there.

Warmongering show up as a penalty in the diplomacy screen, on the heart icon tab. You have a separate warmongering penalty with each leader. The name of the penalties will be hidden if you don't have enough diplomatic visibility with that leader but warmongering have a tendency to be the highest penalty, mostly if you been conquering a lot.

Keep in mind that the relationship with a leader change per turn when you have more positive diplo than negative and vice versa, so if you want to keep a good relationship with a leader, be sure you have more positives. Warmongering fade with time (1 every turns), take that into account. You can also liberate cities to get a huge reduction on warmongering, so do that. Being friend/ally with a leader give positive diplo and they can't denounce while the friendship is up, it's a great way to preserve your relationships while you're conquering since it allow you to go negative without immediate consequences, buying you time to reduce your penalty.

If you're playing with Gathering Storm this works differently but I assume you aren't since warmongering technically doesn't exist in GS.

Cool, thanks.

The search function they added recently should highlight luxury resources if you type luxury resource into it (pretty sure it's one of the default suggested options. Strategic Resource definitely is)

ok thanks . warmongering seems to inevitably make everyone hate you , seems like a ♥♥♥♥ system. You kill someones enemy and they still go from friends to war from warmongering.

it's not even a transparent ♥♥♥♥ system .Lifelong friends say ♥♥♥♥ you , you killed someone i dont even care about and hate as much as you do.

You get less warmongering with leaders that denounced your enemy and you don't get warmongering with leaders that are also at war with them, so a good way to reduce warmongering impact on your relationships is to invite other leaders to join your war.

If you completely eliminate a Civ you get an increased penalty that is quite harsh. One way to avoid it is to leave a city you can liberate as the last city you gonna conquer, then liberate it. This way instead of getting a harsh penalty, you get a reduction on your warmongering. If you care about relationships, you shouldn't eliminate a Civ unless you have a city to liberate as the last.

Edit: If you have Rise and Fall, you can also leave the last city to be flipped by loyalty. You won't get a reduction on warmongering this way but you will avoid the penalty.

They tried to make it better in the Gathering Storm expansion, replacing war mongering with "grievances," but it does feel like they're charging almost full game price for what should be in a patch.

That said, as the kind of sucker that pays almost full game price for DLC, I think it is a better system. But that is a low bar to pass.
