Locutus: While I don't want Hitler in, having him in the game probably won't be impossible. Paradox's HoI2 have him in, together with a picture of him, but what they don't have in is swatikas, holocaust, concentration camps and such.

Hitler ruined the swastika too. It used to be an Asiatic symbol of life and the sun.
Oh well. Maybe if they did a Hitler leaderhead they could have his red armband have a yellow smilie face on it instead.
I'm positive he's not in the expansion though. We've already seen all new leaders for old civs.
6 new civs, 10 new leaderheads (ironic how Firaxis makes us satisfied with less and we eat it up)
4 non-new civ leaderheads: Augustus, Churchill, Stalin, Ramses
6 new civ leaderheads (only one of each group):
Celts - Vercingetorix, Brennus, Cunobelin, or (interesting thought) Boudicca
Vikings - Knut, Ragnar Lodbrok, Haakon, Erik the Red
Carthage - Hannibal, possibly Dido
Babylon? - Nebuchadnezzar or Hammurabi
Mayans? - Smoke-Jaguar, Pacal, 18-Rabbit
Ottomans? - Osman or SuleimanLast edited by Alexander I; March 18, 2006, 16:40.The Apolytoner formerly known as Alexander01

That's most certainly an option. But it requires extra effort on behalf of the developers and publishers, especially since many developers won't take satisfaction in just leaving a big smilie face or whatever, they'll want to replace it with something proper. If you can just as easily avoid the situation by just not using Hitler, why bother? If it's specifically for a WW2 game it might be worth the effort, but otherwise many companies will probably look for a safe alternative.Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui
Just deactivate the picture for the German release. I'm sure it can't be that hard.
It's not impossible, but do they want to take the risk? When there's a lot of money involved, big companies tend to be conservative about these things. I'm not saying it can't happen, but it's dangerous territory -- and that's something developers and publishers usually prefer to avoid.Originally posted by Nikolai

Well with Carthage and the Vikings in, Seafaring would be a pretty safe bet.Originally posted by Locutus

Although I never play any scenarios, a civ game without a WW2 scenario seems incomplete

Only too true. You know, speaking of WWII scenarios, Hitler was in Civ2's WWII scenario, but I think they had Kaiser Frederick's leaderhead for him. And Gandhi was Henri Petain!Originally posted by Nacht

Are we talking about a global WWII scenario or seperate European and/or Pacific scenarios? I'd prefer global but regional would be okay I suppose.

Perhaps some kind of "colonizational" trait, which leads civilizations to go and dump a city on some far off continent in the middle of nowhere and turn it into a great trading center.The Apolytoner formerly known as Alexander01

Heres a thought. How about a "charismatic" trait? This would basecily be a propaganda trait, where your people would be more happy, have less war unhappyness, and it would be harder for your cities to flip. With this trait, I think Hitler could be in the game.Originally posted by Locutus
