  • Should Firaxis alter the Pentagon and WTC wonders?

    There have been terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, two buildings which are wonders in CIV3. Should these wonders be altered into more neutral images as a mark of respect for those who have died? Seeing images of the World Trade Centre and Pentagon in the game may be very distressing to those who have lost loved ones in these buildings.
    None, Sedentary, Roving, Restless, Raging ... damn, is that all? Where's the "massive waves of barbarians that can wipe out your civilisation" setting?

        You are an idiot. This is a game, not real life, according to your logic maybe they should take out anything to do with combat/war since so many people have died in/from them there are bound to be people seriously upset that a game would include it!!!!!

        Once again, you are an idiot. Find a better reason to start a Topic next time!

          Well there are several WTCs spread out all across the US. There's on in Boston for instance. If the icon has the Twin Towers on it that should be altered, but not the actual wonder.

          The Pentagon...well...maybe it should be called something more generic, but I've thought that all along.

            In the war of images, why let cowards win?

                    I don't remember the WTC being a wonder. Even if it is, it should stay...

                      That is right, you can't like these people win, even if it as something as insignificant as a few graphics in a game.

                        They have to rebuild the world trade center.

                        We as Americans owe it to ourselves to rebuild what was lost in memory of those that have lost thier lives today. They have given thier lives for our country and for other free countries. That's how I see it.

                          Absulutly right - the Pentagon WILL be rebuilt. The WTC also will be rebuilt. Terrorism will NEVER win.

                            Or, we could kill all the Jews instead, removing the Israli state, thereby
                            removing the thing that is making Palestians want to launch terrorist attacks
                            like this against Israli backers. Problem solved QED.

                            Obviously I'm not advocating such an absurd action.

                              Keep them in as a sign of respect.

                              And when you build them - remember. . .
