Political Correctness in Civ 3

[Jon Shafer]

Napoleon == Coolest French guy ever.

Glad they kept Bismarck. What were the alternatives though? There's no way they'd put Hitler in. Kaiser II is a stretch. I could see Frederick II though.

Yes, the lists could use some work. I think that may be more of a general lack of information than PC, though PC runs rampant among the national leaders...

Bring back Napoleon!!!

[Master Zen]

Bring back Stalin and his despotism goon-squad from Civ1!!!

whenever I think of the phrase MY WORDS ARE BACKED BY NUCLEAR WEAPONS I think of that image from times of yore....

German GL, what about Admiral Doernitz. (He commanded the u-boat fleet during ww2 for those unfamiliar with the name)

Boudicea would have been a far better choice for the Celt leader, or failing that, a celt GL.

English GLs,
John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough (perhaps England's greatest general)
Willian Slim, commanded the 14th Army from a humiliating defeat in Burma to deal Japan it's worst land defeat of ww2.

French GLs,
Henri de la d'Auvergne, Vicomte de Turenne
As far as De Gaulle is concerned, a quote from Winston churchill. "He has a head like a pineapple and hips like a woman."

I agree with Wazell. Arguing about GLs is pointless, they just appear in the game for a brief moment before they are exchanged for some production. "Oh, but what about the historical flavor?". Hm... Cleopatra living 6000 years, anyone?

Well it'd be even more of a laugh seeing Genghis Khan in 2003 with a suit and tie in the floor of the UN General Assembly ranting something barely legible like "me kill babies, rape women then eat your corn flakes!!"

I hate it when people say that Hitler should be the German leader, and anyone who says something else is trying to be politically correct. Hitler screwed things up big time. He got his country conquered. Some people have become so anti-PC that their judgement is obscured. It's really silly. However, the TR generals, Rommel in particular, were very strong. They should be included.

No more than some PC extreme people have too. You cannot deny that no other man caused as much impact in the world during the last 100 years. Napoleon got his country conquered too so under that standard neither would be apt.

The only reason I believe Hitler should NOT be the German leader is because I think it is unfair to the German people and their history that such a racist bigot represent them. However, for his leadership abilities and his impact on German and world history, he is defenitely suitable though I still think Bismark or Fredrick are the better choices.
