death camps

[Inverse Icarus]

being banned for a week i lost the thread where i thought of this idea, but anyway here it is.

that concept of forced labor rumored around here by lurking firaxins seems remarkably smilar to my concept of "Death Camps", proposed a while back.

basically i wanted to be able to take over a babylonian city, you know the size 20 ones, full of buildings, that those peaceful builders love to build up. basically i would take it, sell all the structures, and burn the city to the ground, going genocidal on the inhabitants. this would combat the whole "assimilating the babylonian loyals", that whole nationality thing, i would just kill them all and move on.

BUT IT GETS BETTER.

i can force labor on them so they dont eat or sleep. they'll get real mad and many will die but the production skyrockets (could it even double or so???). so i can pump out more units as the city starves and i purge the planet of those horrid babylonian people.

AND...

while the city is starving and pumping out hoardes of armies for me i can sell all the lovely improvements they babylonians spent thousands of years building, and help pay for my CENTRALLY ALLOCATED army.

MY ARMY GROWS IN POWER AS THE BABYLONIANS DIE OFF.

I LOVE IT. IT'S EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED.

Why you get banned? For figuring out how to get around the filters and then telling everybody?

A lot of us got banned for circumventing the filter....

What filters?

Were there pcrs?

As for that strategy, it sounds good... but very evil.

You're a real champ, Uber. A real big old champ.

Death camps. What an inspired idea, as long as you don't mind sounding like a no-class jackass, which is apparently not your concern.

On a side note, why'd you change your picture?

Edit:

On second thought, maybe I'm sorry. Maybe you were just desperately craving attention. Do you need attention Uber? Do you need to trivialize death camps and genocide to do it? Is there a reason you didn't toss in references to torture, medical experimentation and rape while you were at it? Do I need to get a sense of humor, or do you need to give a thought to certain bounds of decency?

I dunno. You tell me, champ.

Probably 'cause that idea is SICK SICK SICK.

C'mon, Firaxis won't even let us have all the fun terrorism options anymore. You think that they're going to let us play with neat genocidal tactics?

UberKruX, you are a delightful individual


I've also had the enemy-base deathcamp idea

The only hiccup is that recently captured citizens do no work... so a captured base, by default, will have virtually no production. Question is, will you be able to use forced labor to get a bit of production out of them?

How I think it will work, usually forcing labor will DOUBLE production.
When forcing captured citizens you will get as much 'extra' work out of them. So the city will still be productive, but nowhere near as productive as one of your OWN cities which is being forced.

Better than nothing, but no unbalancing production powerhouse.

Uber. Were you responsible for the OBL login? Was that the reason for your excommunication?

Anyway, I'm happy your Harkonnian way of squeezing the last drop out of a dying man is impossible.

I think there is an option to raze city to the ground. I guess Firaxis did not count with your appetite for torture

[Mannamagnus]

Grow up Uber!

[Mongoloid Cow]

UberKruX, love the Sid head! And your idea of concentration camps. Why not set up death camps to to exterminate the befouling, evil, malicious, barbaric, malevolent, darmaphiliac, egocentric and non-Aryan devil worshippers?

What is an OBL login?

And death camps? That's pretty sick.

[Blake]

Actually, I doubt it will be *impossible* it just wont be unbalancing. Because by the time you have worked them to death they probably would have converted to your cause, and instead of a crappy size 1 city you would have a complete city...
Ofcourse, if you just want to work them to death because your evil, thats cool too

i despise people that only wish to play the "good" parts of history.

the "golden ages" of every respective civ.

there's a large number of horiffic events throughout history, and i'm not one to ignore them.

and i'm im sick for thinking it, firaxis is sick for allowing it.

and they ADDED to my idea somewhat... i just wanted to kill off population and sell improvements, but they actually let us work them to death, increasing your army size.

death camps are, in my opinion, the best appeasement to warmongers in a game geared towards peaceful players.
