Quite why this thread wasn't shut down in the first instance is beyond me. Racism in Civ3? Gimme a break.

My reaction to seeing Shaka step in for a cameo role as a mezo-american was "oops, tight budget and timeframes again - they shoulda hired our Ghengis to finish the job".

Well an interesting idea, but most likely merely an unintentional oversight due to the fact that it was impossible to create new leaderheads et. al in time for the release of the expansion.

To all those who may have got offended that someone started such a thread - YOU get a clue. Just an idea, worthy of thought like every other idea. Deal with it in your own way, give it thought and say what you think without needing to resort to insults. I don't believe such a thing was intended in ANY insulting sense, let alone as a racial slur, so until we see evidence that someone really does mean it in such a way rather than as just a discussion (is this not a discussion forum?) , don't be so touchy, alright?

Well, I'm one of the supposed "affected" people about this "racism". I can say by myself and the community here in Apolyton from Mexico, Chile, Argentina, etc that we don't feel offended in any way about this. We know this is not racism, this is art laciness (sp?) from the game Developers. Also, this is just a game that we all loves so we couldn't get angry.

If you want a solution, well, do the thing someone said, make an amin. leaderhed by yourself, or just replace de anim. with a pic like the one I'll attach now (it's about the Lord of Sipan, the Moche King).

So, I think they're not racist in any way, just lazy. If they were racist, this scenario (and all it's detailed Civilopedia info ) simply will not exist.

Let's stop trolling and let's play some more

I appreciate what the originator of this thread is trying to say, and I think the rude responses are out of order, but I still think it's wrongheaded and that no "lumping together" of non-Caucasian races was intended. Which leaderheads *should* have been chosen?

After all, most of the leaders in this game are not Caucasian. Of the 31 civilisations in the game, Carthage, Zulu, China, Japan, Korea, Mongols, India, Aztecs, Incas, Mayans, Iroquois, Babylon, Persia, Sumeria, Ottomans, Arabia (at least - this is off the top of my head) have leaders who are not Caucasian (although with some of them it might be hard to tell in this game... Hannibal, for the record, would have been part Berber, and Cleopatra, as someone so eloquently put it, was Greek). So statistically, any randomly chosen leaderhead will not be Caucasian.

I have been whining about ugly leaderheads and stupid advisors since those days I was playing civ2, drooling at my keyborad staring at that sexy foreign minister. Now I can't stop thinking about how beautiful that actress was and how stupid they all look in civ3.

Oh sure, its racist. And if they had used Joan, Elizabeth, and Isabella as the leaderheads this would be an arguement on how those leaderheads were an insult to the cultures their countries destroyed. Theres room to whine if you're overly obsessed with it no matter what leaderheads you could choose for them.

But anyway if you want to complain about something, complain about how the devs thought Japan in 1400s had no cities and was filled with barbarians. Just kidding, Sengoku scenario was a real dissapointment though.

I must admit Joan does it for me. There's something about a French 'burd' in chainmail that just sends me wild.

Or maybe that was a French 'burd' in a maid's outfit? Whatever, I reckon Firaxis are SEXIST PIGS for showing females in obviously revealing outfits.
