Sometimes it just takes longer to do it.Plus when you think about it, how many on-topic comments can you really have on any thread? It's bound to go slightly OT, and there's really nothing wrong with that if people show interest.
While I think the 9/11 aftermath is an interesting topic indeed, I still insist that it should belong in the off-topic forum and not in CIV3.So get your Naomi Klein books and move it or I'll seriously bash your faces in! - Supercitizen to stupid students

Saddam should actually replace Hamurabi. And if you really want to piss people off, the Arab leader should be Usama. After all, he is (or was?) from Saudi Arabia.
And Why not King Herod for the Hebrews?But perhaps Sharon would fit both the Sionists and anti-semites better? It's their own choice if they play the good guy or the bad, with the same leader.

If anyone hates Arabs after 9/11, that's a strong reason to include them in the game. One of the joys of computer gaming is the possibility to play the bad guy you can never be in real life. That's why I would prefer Hitler as the German leaderhead rather than Bismarck.
If you should have a unique unit for the Arabs reflecting 9/11, it should be the suicide bomber. That's a cheap one-shot stealth foot soldier unit with the attack range of one. Similar to the cruise missile but with shorter range and only targeting city population. This might upset some people, but after all, most RTS games I have played contained some kind of suicide bomber. Age of Empires had the petard, Warcraft II had the goblin zapper and Starcraft had the infested terran.
But to have a historically correct Arab golden age, some kind of camel rider would be better.I'm waiting for Caliban to get ticked off and jump on you for the Hitler comment though.

Yes McCain is the other I was thinking about. And TR absolutely.. I agree with you I call it the way I see it. I used to be a union steward for the DOE and you bet they hated to see me comming.Yeah I really really liked TR, he was the one that institued national parks. The only problem I had with him was when he went over to China to hunt giant pandas. That kinda bothered me, but befitted the time he was born in. That's one thing we as Americans have to stop doing is comparing people from our past to our present standards. Like crucifying Washington for having slaves and stuff. I mean sheesh, they're still men of their times, and we're men and women of our times.
So anyways, my point is that I really liked TR and I really like McCain.

Pontius Pilate for the RomansActually you could probably have a politically incorrect leader for every country. Nero could be the leader of the Romans.

olaf, that's actually a good thought. specially in my first games i played the civs most sympathetic to me and enjoyed slaughtering the less sympathetic onesbut since then i don't really care anymore (only persians get slaughtered early, but that's not political, that's because immortals are lethal
)

how about a "often hated leader mod" ...
hitler, stalin, saddam, ghadhafi, mobutu, ashcroft, sharon, castro, berlusconi, haider, etc. etc. etc.
