death camps

[drake]

Thank you jason.......making uber out like he's personally a bad person (or immature) for wanting to see such a feature is ridiculous.

Answer my questions mannagamus...

I spare the civilians and after having assimilated the cities the people are always much happier than they were before.

Enjoying civ as a vehicle for conquest is just as sick and twisted as enjoying the ideas of death camps with the logic you use.

Not true; I enjoy empire building. Conquest is for me only a small part of the game and certainly not the most rewarding.

More BS

You can't "spare" civilians in civ at all. Conquering a people is no more noble than sending them to death camps.

We had "poison water supply" as an option in civ2. That is certainly as dispicable an idea as death camps.

Nuke weapons, even worse.

If youre going to argue against death camps and similarly as slimy ideas, you should also argue against military units whose only intention is to destroy.

Why are a few black symbols on a piece of paper, or an overpaid actor faking death more emotionally disturbing than some digital variations called citizens?

It is just a game, but do you play it by numbers? When you are playing, are you just playing a game or are you ruling the world? If you're just playing a game, you're missing out on a lot.

I never poisoned one water supply and I have nukes disabled in Rules.txt.
If you say that a military campaign is equal to having deathcamps you basicaly also say that what Bush is doing now is similar to what Hitler and Stalin were doing (only on a smaller scale, but hey ... he's new to the job )

I love role playing and getting engulfed in the game. But I also have the ability to step back and realize its still a game afterwords.

I didnt say military campaign I said conquest

HUGE difference

[Frozen_Vomit]

I have an even better addition to this tacktik. Why forced laber to rush build new units when u can simply draft the population

U can make the conquered citizens fight for your empire against their own....

[RallyK]

I agree that drafting the population is the better choice. (Not because I have a problem with forcing people to work to their death in the game.)

If I have to nuke a city or two in order to win a game, I will do so. The AI normally deserves it for backstabbing.

Yeah you have some Serbian blood, so you must be sick

.25 Serbian
.25 Croat
.25 Macedonian
.25 Slovak

The Serbian side is definitely embraced in my family more, though.

Yes, I am sick. I want to create a game that contains unheardof terrorist acts that you can attempt against a rival civ. How about releasing massive amounts of salt into the source of a river, thus making the land in the floodplains unable to grow anything, thus starving millions... MUHAHAHAHHA

I enjoy headshots in Counter-Strike[tm].

I got another idea, how about hijacking a crop-duster and... wait a minute... nevermind.

[Frozen_Vomit]

How about an option where u can choose what things to fire whit your catapult- throwing corpses of slain solders behind enemy fortifications sound funny, they did so middle age

[August Borms]

Slain soldiers? Pfff, I'd rather throw bodies of people who died of the plague over the city walls

[Mahdimael]

Is it a disturbing idea? Certainly...it violates our sense of decency...but it really doesn't mean anything when dealing with a computer game.

Besides, any evil action in the game does have a reaction. If you played CtP2 and used slaves, you had the possibility of slave riots.

This is no different. I remember reading that if you conscript or use forced labor, the city will eventually revolt, no matter how many police units are in it. And one would assume that there would be diplomatic ramifications both internally and externally.

I'll point out that Master Of Orion 2 had the option, when taking an enemy planet, to start exterinating the local populace. About a population point per turn, as I recall. Much easier than building the diplomatic buildings and trying to assimilate them into your culture.

Not if your race was telepathic, like mine. They always assimilated before I could say: 'Resistance is...'.
