Anyone else thinks Good vs Evil is too simplistic? Especially when you are dealing with alien races ehich might not even understand morality in the same way as we do. I think the alignment should be reworked with more than just good and evil, which would also allow for more variety in boni and random events.
I think if it was me I would do something like a chart with two axi, one would be cynical - idealist, while the other would be authoritarian (orderly) - anarchic (free); thus you could have a civilization be kinda authoritarian but idealist (paternalist), or anarchic but cynical (like everyone for their own).
