Relation Factors

So I was wondering about something,  how many relation factors are there?  And what do they all mean?

Specificaly I was wondering what causes "We know what your doing..." and there was another vague negative factor that urked me a few games ago.. but anyway..

 

- Doesnt trust us (Not really sure about this one eather)

++/-- Our Diplomacy Skill ( more dip compared to them, more +)

++ Tradeing (you have trade ships going between your and their worlds.)

++ Shared treatys (namely AI on recieveing end of economic or research treaty)

- Warmongers (likes to pick wars)

+ Too busy to risk war with us (AI is on colonising phase, or else is busy with in a war with someone)

- Our Ethical Alignment (your not the same allignment as them. Seems to be less of a factor if your neutral but it doesnt "show" it)

- Our Close boarders (has to do with how close your planets/starbases are to theirs)

- Our Alarming influence (multiple AI colonys are in your Zone of Control)

++/-- Our military strength (factor of all of your ships attack/def vs theirs.)

-- You are attempting to ascend (or something to this effect.   You have starbases on ascension cyrstals)

++/-- Our historic Friendship (Bonuses if your friends for long periods of time, minuses if you were at war withi them)

 

I'm sure I missed some,  I was wondering if anyone could fill me in on the ones I was confused about?  and maybe name/discribe more modifiers you might know of?

The "don't trust us" tag can be earned by not supporting an ally when they are attacked, or by attacking someone you have given your research or econ treaty to (doesn't count it they gave you theirs).

I think you can get 'they don't trust us' anytime you declare war on someone (not if they declared war on you first) and later make peace. This can happen even if you were just honoring an alliance when you went to war. Example: I was Altarian, and allied with Iconians. The Drengin declared war on the Iconians, I agreed to declare war on Drengin, and when I made peace with Drengin later they didn't trust me.

The one that confuses me is 'Militaristic -' because it seems unpredictable. My guess would be that it means the ai is in military buildup mode and looking for fights.
