Shouldn't the leader for Russia be Lenin or Stalin then?

I think they were much cooler than that German nymphomaniac.

Hmm, Stalin for the Russians might be as offensive to the Russians as Reagan would be to the Americans. (Uh, never mind, the Republicans seem to be in a rush to name everything in Washington D.C. after Reagan). Yes, adding Reagan and Lenin, not a bad idea . . .

Maybe there should be an option to play with great or evil leaders.

[bongo]

Is it hard to change the names and graphics of leaders?

If anyone would mod the game to put Clinton as the american leader they could also make the advisors provide an endless stream of cigar references

I have to remind you that the great majority(2/3) of Americans love Reagan; it is just that foreigners, especially Euros, hate him. A huge group of Americans used to be "Reagan Democrats".

The thing about Stalin is that well, he killed more of HIS OWN PEOPLE than Hitler, by far. hitler more or less wiped out the Jews of Europe, woop-de-doo compared to what Stalin did.

I like playing Mao. I get to kill evil British and American imperialists trying to expand into my country.

I think it is an insult to people who actually lived through the Cultural revolution, depite being labeled as counter-revolutionaries, being able to conquer the world as a truly man who kills his own people is just darn wrong, having the option of using Mao to spread humanity to Alpha Centuari is disgusitng.

Mao killed more people then Hitler and Stalin combined, the only reason that Firaxis does not give is that because IMHO a lot of Americans who maybe dio not learn about othe countries (and I am not anti-American just very concerned) dont know much about The Chienese Communists and Cultural Revolutions, they were both horrible periodes in the Chinese Peoples History.

He was just as twisted as Stalin, maybe more so, just because we are on the other side of the Pacific does not mean we should act like he is "Just anouther chinese guy".

I dont mean to rant, and I am not Chinese, but I do get annoyed when companies like firaxis seem to be oblivious to things like this, its like trying to Justfy putting Hitler in the game cause he "only killed six million, that less then Stalin, and beside he lost the war"

this just shows that the world still ha snot learnt enough about the true Mao.

I would highly recemond everyone to read "Wild Swans" as it is a true and scary story.
