Where are the morality checks and events so beloved in GC I

from GalCiv2 Forums
One thing I've been disappointed by in GC II is the lack of morality checks and random events so endearing in GC I. I can understand the lack of anomalies given the large number of races competing for their discovery. But I have played through two entire games (medium maps) and have had only one morality check and zero random events. Is anyone else having this problem. Is there anyway to modulate the frequency of checks/events.

Ummm... There are MANY morality checks and random events in each game I play.
Why do you think there's an alignment in the game?
There's no way to module their frequency. It's random.
But for me, at least, they're fairly frequent.

I usually get two or three morality check events every game, when colonizing planets. I colonize from 5 to 12 planets in my games, using Large map, common stars, uncommon habitable. So it may have something to do with your map settings, or how aggressively you pursue the colony rush. The more planets you colonize, the better the chances of triggering one of those "do we kill the intelligent worms" type events.

I also just got the "zombie army" research event/morals check in my current game. I'm playing with some race points added to the Lucky attribute. Maybe that helps trigger events like this? Anyway, they're in the game, they just don't happen all that often.

I get lots of morality checks in a game. Probably more than 10 on Large maps.

I think you were just lucky (or unlucky) to miss seeing them. They're there, just not that common.

Yesterday I got a "life force draining thingy" event when I went to colonize a class 26 world. +47% planet quality for the evil option made it a class 38 planet. MWahahahaha.....

I usually get several per game, but with the Lucky Attribute I've seen a ton. I'm not sure if that's just coincidental or not.

Anyone else ever get a crap event? I think it might be due to the randomness involved in the number generation for them. I once saw an event where the bonuses were something like:
Good- Nothing
Neutral- +1 BC
Evil- +2 BC

are you researching xeno ethics early on 'cause after you research that you no longer get morality checks

I have gotten about 5 colonizing events and 3 to 5 "random" events (some with ethic choices) per game that I have played. I did not think about the xeno ethics tech stopping them, but can't say that I have seen any of the ethic events after getting that technology.
