I just had a rather sick idea for a WWII scenario...

Give the various Eastern European nations a "Jew" unit that's undisbandable, free of support, and useless in combat. Give the Axis a big VP bonus for killing them.

That's more disgusting than the first idea.

I hope this thread doesn't wander from the topic again

If it does... I won't feel sorry for what happens to the people that go off topic

[Vince278]

Sigh. I'm surprised a thread on such a morally repulsive subject has been open this long. Unless someone has any on-topic suggestions to continue I move that we close this thread.

[Antrine]

I heartily second the closure motion no matter any 'tasteless' nay sayers!!

This thread is an embarrasment!

are you embarrassed by your world's history?

I already posted my rape of Nanking scenario.

We could also have a bataan death march scenario. Although I don't know what effect that would have. I guess you could have it raise the morale of the troops that perform it.

One death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic
-Iosif Stalin

Lets remember that the holocost was more than the 6 million Jewish people that were killed, that it also included the mentally ill, people of slavic decent, political dissenters, and gypseys. All told, the final tally might have risen to 10 million people. Add in the 20 million Russians, the 8 million Germans, the 6 Million Japanese, and it is plain that WWII caused the most horrific bloodletting in the history of this world.

Is one death more tragic than another? Is the life that was lost in a bombing of London, Dresden, or Tokyo more or less tragic than the ones lost at Aushwitz, Buchenwald, or Sobibor?

In one sense one could make a distinction between people that were systematically killed and ones that lost theirs in a seemingly random act. But was the bombings of cites a truly random act? Did not someone drop those bombs?

In this vain; is a persons life who was sacrificed to the Aztecs a life less valuable, a death less tragic than one killed by Nazi's?

My point is that Civ III is a brutal game . Within the game it depicts the meciless bombing of civilians, slavery, raizing towns (called "Ethnic Cleansing" now, they are usually refered in history as massacres or sacking) and using Nuclear devices on other civ's. The idea of having a "jew" uint was a bad idea, not because it is somehow offensive, but because its bad game design. Giving the Nazi's a Gestapo unit with a weak attack and the ability to enslave would be a good idea and no more offensive than the ideas that the Civilization games are designed around.

Your troops would have to be evil to get morale boosts from rape and death marches. More "civilized" nations would not even contemplate doing any such thing.

Such actions I see as outside the scope of the game. However, if players would like to imagine their troops are committing atrocities then that's entirely up to them.

Quite frankly, I am.

[Vince278]

My world's history is just fine. Its Earth's history that worries me.

I'm going to start spamming if this thread isn't closed soon

[Vince278]

Certainly has run its course. Ming has threatened everyone not long ago to stay on topic. I suppose this means he still sees some potential here (all we have to do is find out what that is... ).

[Tassadar500]

I think a Gestapo unit would be good, with a low attack and an enslave ability

[Vince278]

Wouldn't the Gestapo be more like the police in the cityview? You may be thinking SS.
