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.

Re: Should Firaxis alter the Pentagon and WTC wonders?
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!!!!!Originally posted by star mouse

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."I agree with everything i've heard you recently say-I hereby applaud Christantine The Great's rapid succession of good calls."-isaac brock

That is right, you can't like these people win, even if it as something as insignificant as a few graphics in a game.Originally posted by yin26

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.Whatever goes up, better doggon well stay up...Comment

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.
I think I might go and hide now...

And when you build them - remember. . .Comment
