      Everything could be thought as racism (or better say "exclusionist").

      For example, men doesn't have menstruation, so an Amazoness Civ should have a menstruation implementation in the game.

      This is not racism, but BAD FOCUS on ideas!

      The good thing to add in the game about this hipotetical Amazoness civ should be "because they doen't have men" no "because they are only women".

      So, what about and higher growth rate just because they have higher higienic level?

      (Yes yes, this example is SO RUDE!)

        XarXo, how could they have growth rate at all if they're only women?

          Not exactly their own religion, they stole it from the Greeks.

            Imagine that as a good reason for a war. They invade a kingdom and steal the "best" males and use them as slaves.

              Good idea

                    Yes. And sexist. I am disenfranchised every time I play Civilization.

                      I couldn't care less whether civ specific abilities are racist or not. Anyway, I do not think they are racist, they are nothing more than a means of adding interest to a game by allowing for different strategies.

                        I hope the ACLU doesn't browse these forums

                          They're not racist from my POV....It would be interesting to see more civ-specific properties. But then again I'd like to see them as more of a series of optional paths you can choose: if you build/develop/do certain things, you gain one type of UU, etc.

                          Maybe that would make the game too abstract, but hey, it sounds good in theory.
